Jesuits

Were the Jesuits the Pope's army or were they moderating the Catholic faith? Did they oppose the Enlightenment efforts or did they represent the socialists, the early forerunners of Karl Marx? In the book you will learn the most important things about the historical roots of the Jesuits, their spiritual principles and their position today. Stefan Kiechle, SJ Doctor of Theology, born in 1960, was a student pastor and supervisor of novices. He is currently working as a clergyman and expert on the Exercises in Mannheim.
