The Society of Jesus (Societas Iesu/Jesu (S.J.) in Latin) is a Christian religious order of the Roman Catholic Church in direct service to the Pope. Its members, known as Jesuits since the Protestant Reformation, have been called "Footsoldiers of the Pope" in part because the Society's founder, Saint Ignatius of Loyola, was a soldier before his conversion. Today, Jesuits number over 20,000 and comprise the largest religious order in the Catholic Church. Jesuit priests and brothers are engaged in mini ...

Spiritual Exercises - Some historically contextual aspects of the Exercises. The teachings conveyed via the exercises appear to reflect the prominent Catholic views of the 1500's, during which time they were written. Such teachings include support for the Crusades, prayers to Mary, unquestioning and absolute obedience to one's religious superiors, and an implied antagonism towards Islam. (One of the exercises describes the physical location of all evil in the world to be located "in the region of Babylon", whi ...

Ideally these Exercises were designed to take place in the setting of a secluded retreat, during which those undergoing the exercises would be focused on nothing other than the Exercises. They were also designed to be carried out while under the direction of a spiritual director. The primary aim of their authorship appears to have been for use as a part of the Catholic religious order of Jesuits' novitiate program. As such they are a required component of the Jesuit novitiate training program, that usually takes place during the first ...

First staged on February 20, 1934, the opera was notable in that it defied many traditional aspects of opera. Stein's libretto focused more on an affinity for the sounds of words than on presenting a narrative. The plot of the opera focuses on two sixteenth century Spanish saints—Ignatius of Loyola and Teresa of Avila—as well as their followers, St. Settlement and St. Chavez. The cast also includes St. Teresa's alter ego, "St. Teresa II", and the master and ...
