I am looking for books on the history of the Jesuit order. I’ve read Ignatius of Loyola’s autobiography. I’m not looking for some wacko anti-catholic tirade. In particular, I want to learn more about the Jesuit controversy that almost had the order banned.
 
“almost”!?! The Order was in fact suppressed by Pope Clement XIV. Or perhaps you are talking about the rumor of near-suppression less than 40 years ago? Or one of the other “controversies” that some people feel should have had the order suppressed?

I have a friend who is a Jesuit priest, an historian and author of several books on religious topics. While he has not written on the areas of interest to you, I imagine he can recommend books that would be reliable by good authors. (If there are any.) I will ask him and post here in a few days or so, if the thread is still open.
