There are plenty of good Jesuits. We must never forget the Society of Jesus started the counter reformation in Europe.

Father Walter Ciszek SJ. is one of my favorites. His book "He Leadeth Me" tells the story of his imprisonment.

"This is the deeply moving personal story of one man's spiritual odyssey and the unflagging faith which enabled him to survice the horrendous ordeal that wrenched his body and spirit to near collapse. Captured by the Russian army during world War II and convicted of being a "Vatican spy," American Jesuit Father Walter J. Ciszek spent some 23 agonizing years in Soviet prisons and the labor camps of Siberia. He here recalls how it was only through an utter reliance on God's will that he managed to endure."
