A Jesuit historian's answer to the Bishop of Arras, who in 1703 censured propositions from the German casuist Gobat: how the Society governs the moral teaching of its writers, and what its theologians in fact hold on the precept of the love of God, on 'philosophical sin', and on probability, set against the charge that the errors of a few are the doctrine of the Order.
