The Jesuits focus on education contributed to the Counter Reformation. Because of their education, the society could believe them more. Their education was based on a balance of faith and reason. The Jesuits studied languages so they could spread Catholicism across Africa, Asia, and the Americas. Such training allowed the Jesuits to play a major role in supporting the Counter Reformation.
The Reformation prompted increased emphasis on literacy and education as people sought to read the Bible for themselves. Protestant regions established new schools to teach these skills. The Counter-Reformation, led by the Catholic Church, responded with its own educational programs with a focus on defending and spreading Catholic teachings. This competition led to overall improvements in education across Europe.
The Catholic Reformation and the counter reformation are two expressions for the same thing.
The Council of Trent was the most significant event of the Counter Reformation. It reaffirmed Catholic doctrine, addressed corruption within the church, and emphasized the importance of education and discipline among clergy.

The Jesuits, also known as the Society of Jesus, were the most strongly associated religious order with the Catholic Counter Reformation. They were known for their missionary work, education, and strong loyalty to the Pope in combating the Protestant Reformation.
The counter reformation was the Catholic Church's way of fighting back against the protestants.
The Reformation led to an increase in the importance of education as Protestant leaders emphasized the need for individuals to read and interpret the Bible for themselves. This led to the establishment of more schools and universities across Europe. The Counter-Reformation, in response, saw the Catholic Church reforming its educational system to educate clergy and combat the spread of Protestant ideas through institutions like Jesuit schools.
League for Catholic Counter-Reformation was created in 1967.
