jesuitry
Jesuitry is a term that commonly refers to two related concepts. Firstly, it refers to the practices, methods, teachings, and beliefs of the Society of Jesus, a Roman Catholic order also known as the Jesuits, founded by St Ignatius of Loyola. Secondly, it can also refer, often pejoratively, to the alleged cunning, deceit, or equivocation attributed to the Jesuits, often used to suggest manipulative or crafty argumentation or reasoning that aims to subtly change the meaning of words or concepts.
