Pope Clement Xiv And The Jesuits


Paladin D

Recommended Posts

I heard that Pope Clement XIV signed a decree that surpressed the Jesuits. Why did this happen? For what reason? I don't know anything on this subject.

It was gravely infleunced by various Kings (i.e. French King) because the Jesuits were gaining such infleunce and power throughout Europe. During the supression the Jesuits went to the Island of Malta and Catherine the Great gave many of them sanctuary.
