The Jesuits

by Darth_Piglet

May I ask why the order of the Jesuits is held in such disdain?

Is it just down to the role they played in the counter reformation and thus a cultural bias that began in Tudor England or is there something more?

I have noted many videos and commentaries that cite "the Jesuits" but there is never any context.

I appreciate any anticipated elucidation.

You may want to clarify your questions a bit, who holds the Jesuits in disdain?

And while you're waiting for a fresh answer, here are a couple older ones that may help.

Not exactly answering your questions this post has a brief explanation of how the Jesuit order was seen in Tudor England. /u/kashisaur

This even earlier question deals with the broader dislike of the Jesuits. Two good answers there from /u/NicLewisSLU and /u/frederfred1
