  Abstract:   This article aims at presenting the reasons, as well as the pretexts, which led in 1773 to the suppression of the Jesuits. Thus, the article presents the reasons from a dogmatic perspective: the theological controversies between the supporters of various moral theories, especially laxism and rigourism; the priests’ conduct during the missions in Asia and America; the various articles which upset important personalities of the time, etc. Furthermore, the article indicates the real reasons which led to the suppression of the Jesuit Order in the main Catholic countries of Europe. The suppression of the Jesuit Order represented a dark episode in the history of the Church, episode which ended in 1814 with Pope Pius VII’s decision to fully restore the Order founded by Ignatius Loyola.

Keywords: The Jesuits, The Dominicans, Pope Clement XIV, Dogma, Probabilism, Suppression, Laxism, Rigourism, The Bourbons, Pope Pius VII.
