The Pope’s May brief laments the plan to expel Jesuits and pleads with Charles III to revoke or suspend the order. It argues the Society’s innocence, warns of spiritual harm, and urges justice, recalling Esther’s petition and invoking apostolic blessing. The King’s Aranjuez reply confirms expulsion with limited exceptions, citing duty to protect temporal and eternal welfare while maintaining some spiritual support.
