Abstract

The year 2023 commemorates the 250th anniversary of the publication of the Pontifical Brief Dominus ac Redemptor by which the Society of Jesus was extinguished in the Catholic Church because of the pressure of the House of Bourbon on Pope Clement XIV. Before the extinction, the Jesuits were expelled from Spain (256 years ago) as well as from other enlightened monarchies of the eighteenth century in Europe. This article stops to consider a series of "minor" documents on the opinion that progressively formed around the Jesuits, for better or worse, in the Hispanic domains.
