释义 | Jesuitn. 1. A member of the ‘Society of Jesus’, a Roman Catholic order founded by Ignatius Loyola in 1533, and sanctioned by Paul IV in 1540. The object of the Society of Jesus was to support the Roman Catholic Church in its struggle with the 16th cent. Reformers and to propagate the faith among the heathen. Hated and feared by Protestants, the Order, with its authoritarian constitution and its principle of total obedience to papal commands, became suspect to many in Roman Catholic countries too—more especially when Jesuit schools and confessionals came to exercise great influence on rulers and high society. By their enemies, the Jesuits were accused of teaching that the end justifies the means, and the lax principles of casuistry put forward by a few of their moralists were ascribed to the Order as a whole, thus giving rise, not only in English but in French and other languages, to sense 2, and to the opprobrious sense attached to Jesuitical, Jesuitry, and other derivatives.
