Summary "The Jesuits" by Edward Hoare is a historical account written in the mid-19th century, specifically around the early 1850s. This book provides an in-depth examination of the Society of Jesus, delving into its organization, objectives, and methods, while exploring the controversial nature of its influence within the Catholic Church and society at large. Hoare’s work seeks to illuminate the perceived dangers of Jesuit philosophy and practice, highlighting the tension between their operations and the moral values espoused by Christianity. The book presents a critical analysis of the Jesuit order, aimed at exposing their clandestine operations and the potential threats they pose to societal moral fabric. Hoare meticulously describes the hierarchical structure of the Jesuits, their system of education, and their methods of influencing politics and public sentiment. He argues that the Jesuits operate under a guise of loyalty to the Church while secretly pursuing their interests and using manipulative tactics to entwine themselves within various social strata. The work outlines specific Jesuit doctrines, such as the "doctrine of probability," which Hoare critiques for promoting a flexible morality. Ultimately, "The Jesuits" serves as a cautionary text, warning readers about the complexities of Jesuit influence and the dichotomies between public virtue and private action within the Society.
