SJ

 "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.
