[The above general account of the causes leading to the expulsion of
the Jesuits from the Spanish domains is obtained from various places
in the account furnished by Danvila y Collado in his Reinado de Carlos
III, t. ii, iii, to which the reader is referred as being probably
the most full, accurate, and scholarly account now available of this
important historical episode. He uses a great variety of material,
obtained largely from the original documents in the Spanish archives,
which he cites directly (and often in full), with careful references to
his sources; and, although his sympathies are with the Jesuit order,
which he thinks was unjustly maligned, he is evidently too thorough a
scholar to suppress or distort the facts in the case. The following
outline of his work in regard to this subject will give the reader
an idea of his thoroughness therein, and of the places where one may
find special information on various aspects of the subject. Tomo ii:
Chapter v, "Controversies with Roma," relates those which occurred
under Carlos III over the royal prerogatives, the measures for
canonizing the venerable Palafox, [137] ecclesiastical amortization,
the banishment of the inquisitor-general by the king, the expulsion
of the Jesuits, and other burning questions of that time. Chapter
vi treats, with much fulness of detail, of the Madrid uprising of
1766, with its causes and effects. Chapters vii-ix form a history
of the Jesuit order from its first establishment to 1766. Tomo iii:
Chapter i, "Causes of the expulsion;" chapter ii, "The Execution
of the expulsion;" chapter iii, "The monitory decree of Parma,"
a brief issued by Clement XIII on January 30, 1768, which attempted
to assert the temporal power of the pope; [138] chapter iv, "Origin
of the extinction of the Society of Jesus," showing how the plan
for this measure was initiated by France, and how the other powers
rapidly fell into line for her support; chapter v, "The election
of Clement XIV," relating the important part played therein by the
question of suppressing the Jesuit order, and the political scheming
by the various powers interested; chapters vi-viii, "Extinction of
the Society of Jesus;" chapter ix, "Consequences of the extinction;"
chapter x, "Rehabilitation of the Society of Jesus," which ends with
the brief of Leo XIII (July 13, 1886) abrogating that by which Clement
XIV put an end (July 21, 1773) to the Jesuit order.]
