You don’t know anything about the Jesuits. That’s OK, most people don’t. There is no “rule” that a Jesuit may not be elevated to the papacy. You are probably referring to the words of the founder saint that it’s not recommended for them to be bishops because they have a different charism. But it was never forbidden.

I know enough. Ignacious didn’t want them to be Bishops. He left a convenient little loophole that says they aren’t supposed to aspire to be Bishops, but if they’re asked that’s ok.

They can break their vow, if such a circumstance arises. Wow.
