The Wiki states that

In the twentieth century, a movement for the canonization of Frà Savonarola began to develop within the Roman Catholic Church, particularly among Dominicans, with many judging his excommunication and execution to have been unjust. His potential beatification and canonization is opposed by many Jesuits, who consider Savonarola’s (secular) conflict with the papacy to have been an intolerable crime.

Domincans v. Jesuits

A young man went to his pastor and said,”I think I may have a call to the religious life, but I can’t decide between the Dominicans and the Jesuits.

The pastor said, “Well, the Dominicans were founded to argue against the Albigensians. The Jesuits were founded to argue against Protestantism.”

The young man said,”But, Father, how can I tell which is the better order?

The pastor said, “Seen any Albigensians lately?”

{Catholic joke.]
