I recalled seeing some negative remarks in Isis Unveiled made in 
passing with regard to the Jesuits. I was curious why HPB held such a 
disparaging veiw so I did some digging and found this section very 
disturbing:

Isis Unveiled, Vol. II, Chap. 8
http://www.theosociety.org/pasadena/isis/iu2-08a.htm

Among other things there remarks were shocking:

"Let, then, all pious Christians listen and acquaint themselves with 
this alleged "rule of life" and precepts of their God, as exemplified 
by the Jesuits. Peter Alagona (St. Thomae Aquinatis Summae Theologiae 
Compendium) says: "By the command of God it is lawful to kill an 
innocent person, to steal, or commit . . . (Ex mandato Dei licet 
occidere innocentem, furari, fornicari); because he is the Lord of 
life and death, and all things, and it is due to him thus to fulfil 
his command" (Ex prima secundae, Quaest., 94). 

"A man of a religious order, who for a short time lays aside his 
habit for a sinful purpose, is free from heinous sin, and does not 
incur the penalty of excommunication" (Lib. iii., sec. 2., Probl. 44, 
D. 212).***" 

Does anyone known enough about the Society of Jesus to attest to the 
authenticity of her sources. The only works I am familiar with are 
the Constitution and Spiritual Exercises of Ignatius.

Sincerely Yours,
