Anti-Jesuit literature spread the image of the Jesuit as false and hypocritical, relying on the fact that our missionaries did everything in their power to ingratiate themselves into the favor of the or emperors. Their purpose was to use power to evangelize, in accordance with the principle (now questionable) of cuius regio eius religio. Anti-Jesuit literature twists this intentionality by reversing the terms and creating a commonplace effect: Jesuits are unscrupulous people who use evangelization to get to power.
