"These measures were so far from checking the clamor and complaints
against the Society that very unpleasant wrangling spread through the
world about the Society’s teaching which very many represented as
repugnant to orthodox faith and good morals. Internal and external
dissensions cropped up. More and more charges were made against the
Society for excessive greed for worldly goods. From all these
disturbances, there arose the enormous sadness and trouble that
afflicted the Apostolic See and the actions taken by some princes
against the Society." Paus Clemens XIV, Dominus ac Redemptor, 1773.
