Synopsis

Defending the Jesuits against calumny with historical context and sharp argument.

This nonfiction work argues against a sweeping attack on the Jesuit Fathers, presenting a defense rooted in history, theology, and moral witness. It surveys critics, cites authorities from Voltaire to Chateaubriand, and explains why many claims are treated as misrepresentation or distortion. The edition illuminates key episodes, from suppression debates to conflicts in North America, and it defends the Jesuits as caretakers of education, temperance, and charitable work.

- Learn how historical sources and authorities are used to challenge accusations
- See a sustained argument for the Jesuits’ role in education, morality, and frontier life
- Explore discussions of obedience, discipline, and their place in religious communities
- Discover a historical perspective that connects Canadian history, temperance concerns, and religious controversy

Ideal for readers of religious history, historical polemics, and Canadian studies who want a detailed, sourced defense of a controversial topic.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
