The book ""The Jesuits And The Doctrine Of And High Treason And Regicide"" by Henry Hadley Norris is a historical account of the role played by the Jesuits in the promotion and propagation of the doctrine of high treason and regicide. The book provides a detailed analysis of the Jesuit order and its influence on European politics during the 16th and 17th centuries.The author delves into the history of the Jesuits and their involvement in political affairs, particularly in the context of the Catholic Church's struggle against Protestantism. Norris argues that the Jesuits were instrumental in the development and dissemination of the doctrine of high treason and regicide, which held that it was permissible to overthrow a monarch who was deemed to be a heretic or a threat to the Catholic Church.The book traces the evolution of this doctrine and its impact on European politics, highlighting key events such as the Gunpowder Plot in England and the assassination of King Henry IV of France. Norris also examines the role played by individual Jesuits in promoting this doctrine, including the controversial figure of Robert Bellarmine.Overall, ""The Jesuits And The Doctrine Of And High Treason And Regicide"" is a well-researched and insightful account of the Jesuit order's involvement in European politics during a tumultuous period in history. It sheds light on a little-known aspect of Jesuit history and provides a valuable contribution to our understanding of the role played by religion in shaping political ideologies.THIS 52 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Principles of the Jesuits, by Henry Hadley Norris.
