Publisher's Synopsis
""The Jesuits and the Doctrine of High Treason and Regicide"" is a historical book written by Henry Hadley Norris. It explores the role of the Jesuits, a Catholic religious order, in promoting the idea of high treason and regicide during the 16th and 17th centuries. The book delves into the controversial belief held by some Jesuits that it was permissible to overthrow a monarch who was deemed to be a heretic or tyrant. Norris examines the impact of this doctrine on European politics and the Catholic Church during this period. He also discusses the Jesuits' involvement in various plots and conspiracies, including the Gunpowder Plot in England and the assassination of King Henry IV of France. Through extensive research and analysis, Norris sheds light on the complex relationship between the Jesuits and political power, as well as the tensions between the Catholic Church and Protestantism. This book provides a fascinating insight into a little-known aspect of European history and is a must-read for anyone interested in the religious and political upheavals of the early modern period.THIS 52 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Principles of the Jesuits, by Henry Hadley Norris.
