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.
