JPII...a damn good Jesuit. What seperates Catholicism from Jesuit Catholicism? Read up and then get back to me please.
JPII was not a Jesuit.. he was ordained a priest in a secret seminary run by the Archbishop of Krakow covertly under the Nazi occupation. He originally intended to enter a Carmelite monastery.. but was persuaded his obvious gifts of communication and connection with the secular world could be put to better use than in solitary ascetic contemplation.
The answer to your question is that there is NO difference between Catholicism and 'Jesuit' Catholicism. The Jesuits great founder, St. Ignatius Loyola, a soldier who suffered crippling injuries in battle, conceived the Order as the 'tip of the spear' of the Catholic faith.. an Order of missionaries and teachers.. whose first obligation was obedience to the Holy Father. Traditionally they have attracted adventurers.. and sometimes free thinkers.. which has led to a thread of dissent, even heresy, in its leadership over the last few decades.
I'm not wanting to get into a religious debate but the arrogance of basically saying Christianity is a much more civilized and enlightening religion than Islam, is not only unequivocally incorrect it reeks of bigotry and intolerance.

.. "you will know them by their fruits".. Christ's admonition and caveat regarding false prophets.
