There is no such thing as a Jesuit or Dominican Catholic. They are all Catholics. A man who discerns a vocation to the Society of Jesus, started by St. Ignatius would become a Jesuit, he remains a Catholic. Likewise, a man (or woman) who discerns a vocation to the Dominicans would become a Dominican Friar (or Sister) but remain a Catholic. Jesuits and Dominicans are two religious Orders within the Church. Jesuits have two main vocations: to teach and to preach the faith to non-Catholics. Originally, the Order was founded to fight the protestant heresy. The Domicans were founded as an Order of Preachers, they were originally founded to fight the Arian heresy. Needless to say, the Dominicans have been a little bit more successful than the Jesuits, when was the last time you ran into an Arian vs. a protestant?
