Historia Interna Documentada de la Compañía de Jesús (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

This book addresses the question of whether or not Jesuits can be discussed fairly and objectively. It dates back to the 1850s when the author developed a passion for the history of the Jesuits and a desire to see that history impartially recounted. The author eventually published the internal history of the Jesuits and attempted to submit it to ecclesiastical censorship. However, he was met with the claim that the book was written against the Jesuits and that its publication should be stopped lest he incur grave ecclesiastical penalties. The author defended his work and desired to have it undergo the proper censorship process. He maintained his work had been drawn from authentic Jesuit documents with no personal opinions or commentary added by the author. The author then sought the Secretary of State to the Pope who ordered the book not to be published without first being submitted to the judgment and censure of the Pope. The author agreed to submit his work and wrote to the Secretary of State about the steps to take for the work's submission. This book is a valuable resource for understanding debates on whether the Jesuits can be fairly and objectively discussed, the history of the Jesuit order, and the complexities of ecclesiastical censorship.
