商品簡介
It was more than the 634 Jesuits living in Germany in the early days of the empire that drew politically motivated fire, says Healy (National U. of Ireland-Galway), but the whole package of policies that the order's opponents attributed to it the creation of a universal empire led by the papacy, the subjugation of all Catholics to clerical authority, and the corruption of the Christian faith and the practices they found characteristic of it strict internal discipline and utter unscrupulousness in choice of methods. She finds that the anti-Jesuit movement was primarily a bourgeois Protestant phenomenon, though it was as protean and amorphous as the specter it feared.
