Jesuits ARE a Catholic Religious Order founded by St. Ignatius Loyola in the sixteenth century to bring Catholicism to the pagans and protestants and to educate Catholic youth. The Puritans were a nonconformist protestant religious movement that separated from the Anglicans, whom they believed were not "protestant" enough.

Why did jesuits and puritans dislike the middle way?

Jesuits and Puritans disliked the Middle Way because they viewed it as a compromise that diluted religious purity and true worship. The Middle Way, associated with the Church of England's moderate stance between Catholicism and Protestantism, was seen by Jesuits as an inadequate rejection of Catholic traditions and by Puritans as a failure to embrace a more rigorous, reformed faith. Both groups sought to promote their own interpretations of Christianity, which emphasized strict adherence to their beliefs over compromise. This led to tensions as they perceived the Middle Way as a barrier to achieving their spiritual ideals.

Were Jesuits the same as Pilgrims?

Pilgrims are people who journey to a sacred place for religious reasons.

Both the Anglicans and the Pilgrims were protestants, they just disagreed with each other. The Jesuits, on the other hand, were a religious Order in the Catholic Church. They were definitely not the same thing.
