Loyola later described this time as an incredible ‘mystical’ experience during which he had blinding visions of heaven and hell and Christ and Satan. He saw Jesus as ‘a big round form shining as gold.’…
…Loyola and
Jesuits welcomed only those whose spirituality reflected his {N.B.} and those who were willing to engage in unquestioned obedience to
pope.{Giving up their possessions like
Templars too.} Any applicant who had even a hint of bad character or lack of orthodoxy was rejected. {Really? What orthodoxy might that be?}…
…The mission of
Jesuits was to educate
young, to lead people back from Protestantism to Catholicism, and to take
Catholic message to new areas of
world.
They were successful in all three endeavours.” (3)
