Why?
In 1965 there were 5,277 Jesuit priests and 3,559 seminarians;
in 2000 there were 3,172 priests and 389 seminarians.
What charism? They were the Pope's Gestapo & carried out evil & godless acts against non-Catholics. We were happy to see the decline of Nazism & we are happy to see the decline of Jesuitism.
