The Jesuits
The Society of Jesus and the Betrayal of the Roman Catholic Church
Book • 1987
The book traces the history of the Jesuits from their founding by Ignatius of Loyola to their modern role within the Catholic Church and global affairs.
Martin argues that the Jesuits have become increasingly politicized, particularly through their involvement in liberation theology in Latin America, which he views as a dangerous fusion of Marxist principles with Christian theology.
He contends that this shift has led the Jesuits away from their spiritual roots and into the realm of political activism, often in opposition to the Vatican's authority.
The book is characterized by its critical stance on modern changes within the Jesuit order and the Catholic Church, reflecting Martin's conservative Catholic perspective.
