Jesuit's are Catholics. They initially started as a group of men who considered themselves God's enforcers, and were granted positions of priesthood after approaching the Pope. Eventually, the Jesuits started gaining influence over the church and took many of the measures that formed the Catholic institution we know today.

So, the Jesuit Order's basic beliefs are roughly the same as a Catholic's.
