In a time in which there was a great movement to separate from the authority of the pope, the Society of Jesus took on the specific vow of obedience to the pope. They defended the Church and her doctrines and limited the extent of the protestant revolution. The Jesuits also had a great roll in the evangelization of non-Christian lands and in education in Christendom.

How might the Jesuits help restore respect for the Church?
The Jesuits, at one time, were the most powerful Order in the Church, they were extremely well educated, and they take a special vow of immediate obedience to the Holy Father. We desperately need the Jesuits in this task, and although the Order is severely depleted from years gone by, they could certainly do a lot to restore the Church. Primarily what they need to do is to restore their Catholic identity. Too many Jesuits for too long have been identified with odd theological movements. They need to reinvigorate their spirituality and charism in order to show off a united Church that is worthy of the respect it so desperately needs to bring Christ to a world in need.
