The book presents a correspondence that emerges from a lecture delivered by Rev. Edward Hoare regarding the Jesuit Order, specifically addressing the moral obligations and implications of their Constitutions. This dialogue highlights the differing interpretations of Jesuit principles and touches upon broader questions of morality and obedience within the context of religious authority. The content of the book revolves around a spirited discussion between Waller and Hoare, where Waller challenges Hoare's assertion that Jesuits can be commanded by their superiors to commit mortal sins. The correspondence details their debate over the interpretation of Jesuit texts and the implications of obedience to the orders of superiors. Waller argues for a more benign interpretation of the Constitutions, contending that they do not obligate Jesuits to act against their moral convictions. This discourse not only sheds light on the internal conflicts surrounding Jesuit practices but also serves as a reflection of the broader Protestant-Catholic tensions of the time.
