My family had a branch of Catholics that were Stained Glass.
That means that they were in. Way in. Sponsered windows at the Catherdral and was generally involved. That branch had the Bishop and the Arch over for drinks on special occaions.
when it came to Jesuits, I never heard them mentioned without the world Damned.
word Damned.
It surprises me in some ways that they got to be so powerful, since really most people seemed to 8nclude the word “damned” when rederrfing to the Jesuits. And they were even suppressed once.
The other thing that’s weird is that Jesuits, by their constitution, are not supposed to accept the Papacy if it is offered to them. But I guess once it really was offered, well, that was different.
