I've recently took an interest in world affairs to some extent and was reading about the Jesuits but don't understand what they are or why there are conspiracy theories surrounding them. Read somewhere that the current pope is a jesuit , to first one in 500 years. Why are people concerned over this?
 
The Jesuits are just another godless religious order of the catholic church than needs salvation as much as any other sinner. There's more to their history than you will learn on CC
 
The Jesuits are a religious order of the Catholic church that believe in Jesus. I would not call them godless but do agree that they are in need of salvation just like all of us. This is true of any religious organization or denomination. I would find something else to be concerned about.
 
the jesuits...properly called the 'society of jesus'...are a roman catholic society founded during the 'counter reformation' specifically to oppose the teachings of the protestant reformers such as luther and calvin...

the intent was to overcome the protestant doctrines with sophisticated scholarly apologetics delivered by highly educated roman catholics...

due to their education and scholarship the jesuits over time have become one of the major intellectual and doctrinal forces within the roman church...

the conspiracy theories of course are untrue...

Was that before or after they were known as the Crusaders?
 
interesting. a roman catholic society.

Catholic Church False Doctrines

why go to all the trouble of building a church, seemingly 'christian', with all of these tenets that directly contradict the source manual (the bible), stealing (or attempting to steal) glory and honor from where it truly belongs...?

i call BS. something isn't right here.

at the least, it's a way to get certain people rich. But there's more to it than that, has to be.

what's REALLY going on?

"But I will continue doing what I have always done. This will undercut those who are looking for an opportunity to boast that their work is just like ours. These people are false apostles. They are deceitful workers who disguise themselves as apostles of Christ. But I am not surprised! Even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. So it is no wonder that his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. In the end they will get the punishment their wicked deeds deserve." -2 Corinthians 11:12-15
 
A jesuit i knew about long ago was josemaria escriva de balaguer, a spanish missionary who wrote 'the way' a book we kind of read when i was young and catholic. There were also 4 jesuit priests in the life of our national hero, Rizal, who went to Ateneo, a jesuit university here.
