(2)The Society of Jesus
The second agency of
Catholic reform was
religious orders, most
notably, the Society ofJesus. The Jesuits were
founded by St. Ignatius
Loyola. He was a Spanish
soldier, injured in battle,who experienced a
conversion during his
convalescence.

St. Ignatius Loyola
As a consequence,
he felt a new desire
to devote his life to
the service of Godand carried his
military ideals with

New Religious Order
After obtaining baccalaure-
ate and graduate degrees,
Loyola decided to found a
new religious order. In1540, Pope Paul III officially
recognized the Society of
Jesus. In addition to the
vows of poverty, chastity,and obedience, they took
an additional vow of special
obedience to the pope.
-
8/13/2019 CLE 2nd Trimester
23/133
Purposes of the Order
The original purpose of the
Jesuits was to reach and
convert the masses of
people who had strayed fromthe church. Thus preaching
was their fundamental task.
They also stressed the
instruction of children inChristian doctrine and urged
more frequent confession
and communion.

Education
In addition to being spiritual
advisers, Jesuits devoted
themselves to teaching,
fighting heresy, and convertingthe heathen. The Jesuits came
to be the most successful
educators in the church. They
were interested primarily inhigher education, and came to
dominate many universities
and seminaries.

SUMMARY:
The third agency of Catholic
reform was the Council of Trent
which met over a period of
eighteen years (between 1545-63).
It met the challenge of theProtestant Reformation by
clarifying doctrine and by instituting
reforms that improved the quality
of the clergy. It also helped thechurch to hold on to what it had
retained, regain much of what it
had been in danger of losing, and
remain a powerful force in the life
of Christendom.

Doctrinal Decrees
In the meetings of 1545-47, important doctrinaldecrees were passed:
The Latin Vulgate was accepted as the official text of the
Bible.
The Protestant doctrine that the Bible was the sole basis forreligious authority was superseded by the doctrine that
church tradition was equal in authority to Scriptures.
The Protestant doctrines of justification by faith alone, the
bondage of the will, man's utter depravity and helplessness,and the doctrine of predestination were rejected. Faith and
good works were declared necessary for salvation.
All seven of sacraments were declared to be true
sacraments instituted by Christ.
-
8/13/2019 CLE 2nd Trimester
39/133
Reform Decrees
The council insisted on the duty of Bishops toreside in their dioceses. They must never be
absent for more than three months, and not at all
during advent and lent.
Pluralism (multiple offices) was forbidden.Bishops were required to preach every Sunday
and Holy Day, and to visit every church within
their diocese at least once a year.
Each bishop was to exercise careful supervision
over his clergy, ordaining only worthy priests and
severely disciplining those guilty of misconduct.
-
8/13/2019 CLE 2nd Trimester
40/133
Priestly Responsibilities
Priests also were held tothe obligation of residence
and were required to
preach. To improve the
level of priestly education,the council proposed the
establishment of a
theological seminary in
every diocese. Priests wereto exercise care for their
flocks, explaining the Bible,
the sacraments, and the
liturgy.

Outcome of Decrees
The decrees were notadopted universally,
enthusiastically, or
unanimously. Nevertheless,
the work of the councileventually succeeded in
infusing a new spirit in the
church, which strengthened
it immensely and made it
capable of defense and
further conquest.

Religious Revival
In addition to theseagencies of Catholic reform,
both positive and negative,
there was a genuine revival
of Catholic piety led by menand women of outstanding
devotion and sanctity (e.g.,
Charles Borromeo, Teresa
of Avila, and John of the
Cross). Throughout Catholic
Europe, inspired by such
leaders as these, there was
a renewal and revival of
Christian feeling.

MARTIN LUTHER
Martin LuthersTeaching
Catholic ChurchTeachings
It is not through our merit that we are
saved but through the immeasurable
mercy and generosity of God, who
justifies us in spite of our sins
Our salvation depends first, on how we
love our neighbor. Second, if we love God,
with all our mind, with all our heart, and
with all our soul. These 2 commandmentscompressed into one and are inseparable.
We have to focus on the notion that
salvation is a gift yet we still have to do our
part through cooperating with Gods grace
and mercy.
By faith alone, man can be saved. Our faith alone will not save us. We have
to work and show effort to do our part
through corporal and spiritual works and
with Gods grace and mercy.

MARTIN LUTHER
Martin Luthers Teaching Catholic ChurchTeachings
Scriptures were the source of authority
through which the Word of God reached
the sinner.
As to the obedience to
the authorities of the
Church, the teachings of
the Church are part and
parcel of our salvation.

JOHN CALVINJohn Calvins Teaching Catholic Church
Teachings
God is Sovereign, the Absolute
Ruler of the universe. Nothing
happened without Gods directinvolvement. Calvin thought that
God manipulates what man does.
Man has no freedom. God can
choose or condemn man.
Our Christian faith is a free
response. No one, not even God,
forces us to believe.This accounts mans freedom to
decide anything what he wants of
himself. Modern psychology
attests to the fact that man
develop in stages. Even the
chosen people had undergone
good and evil; success and
failure. these people sinned and
reformed. God did not prevent
them from what they did, even in
worshipping other gods.

John CalvinsTeaching
Catholic ChurchTeachings
He developed the doctrine or
predestination which means
that before the foundations ofthe earth were laid, some were
chosen to be saved.
Never had God predestined
human persons to salvation or
perdition. God gave the humanperson the power to govern
himself and the world he lives
in.

HENRY VIII
Errors of Henry Catholic ChurchTeachings
He wanted annulment of marriage
due to inability of his wife, Catherine
of Aragon, to beget a male to the
throne.
Annulment of marriage without the
legal and canonical approval is
against the teachings of the church.
According to church teachings, theintimate union of marriage as a
mutual gift of two persons, and the
good of children, demands total
fidelity from the spouses and
requires an unbreakable unity
between them. GS 48

A Church that is identified exclusively with the
hierarchy and that ignores the laity.A Church that is exclusively liturgical and
sacramental, a Church that is not concerned aboutthe situation of poverty, injustice, violence and the
destruction of the environment.A Church that is associated with the rich and
powerful, where the poor are marginalized.
