The Jesuits And The Doctrine Of Licentiousness

By Henry Hadley Norris

Book Overview

The Jesuits and the Doctrine of Licentiousness is a book written by Henry Hadley Norris that explores the history of the Jesuit order and their involvement in promoting licentious behavior. The book delves into the controversial teachings and practices of the Jesuits, including their views on sexuality, marriage, and the role of women in society.Norris examines the Jesuits' use of casuistry, a method of moral reasoning that allowed them to justify immoral behavior in certain situations. He also explores the Jesuits' involvement in the slave trade and their exploitation of indigenous peoples in the Americas.The book provides a critical analysis of the Jesuits' teachings and practices, arguing that their focus on individual salvation and their willingness to compromise on moral principles led to a culture of licentiousness within the order. Norris argues that the Jesuits' influence on European society contributed to the erosion of traditional moral values and the rise of secularism.Overall, The Jesuits and the Doctrine of Licentiousness offers a thought-provoking examination of the Jesuit order and its impact on Western society. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of the Catholic Church and the development of Western moral values.THIS 22 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Principles of the Jesuits, by Henry Hadley Norris.
