„Between 1555 and 1931 the Society of Jesus [i.e., the Jesuit Order] was expelled from at least 83 countries, city states and cities, for engaging in political intrigue and subversion plots against the welfare of the State, according to the records of a Jesuit priest of repute [Thomas J. Campbell]. …Practically every instance of expulsion was for political intrigue, political infiltration, political subversion, and inciting to political insurrection.“
J.E.C. Shepherd was a Canadian historian who focused on political history and religious orders in his works.
This quote highlights the turbulent history of the Jesuits and their repeated conflicts with state powers that viewed their political involvement as a threat.
