The Spanish Inquisition, founded in 1478. Initially, its sole function was to sniff out 'insincere converts' from Judaism. Later this was extended to Muslims and later to anyone who defied the authority of the Church. In Spain, Jews and Muslims had been put under enormous pressure since about 1350 to convert to Christianity.
The Society of Jesus is a Christian male religious order that follows the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church. The Society was founded by Saint Ignatius of Loyola and approved by the Pope in 1540.Ignatius founded the society after being wounded in battle and experiencing a religious conversion. Ignatius and six other young men, including St. Francis Xavier and Bl. Pierre Favre, gathered and professed vows of poverty, chastity, and later obedience, including a special vow of obedience to the Pope.In 1537, they traveled to Italy to seek papal approval for their order. Pope Paul III gave them a commendation, and permitted them to be ordained priests. These initial steps led to the founding of what would be called the Society of Jesus later in 1540.Ignatius and his fellow priests were originally from Paris France and that is where they first professed vows in 1534. Therefore the first headquarters could be considered Paris. However, as they were not yet a recognized order this is often ignored.The eventually made their way to Italy via various universities and towns and met with the Pope in Rome. When the society was recognized the headquarters was created in Rome and has remained there.The Curia Generalizia is the headquarters in Rome for the worldwide Society of Jesus.
There are many, many religious orders founded by a variety of saints. Here are a few:Francis of Assisi - Friars minor which later became known as the Franciscans. Dominic de Guzman - Order of Preachers now called the Dominicans. Ignatius Loyola - Was a founder of the Society of Jesus, now called the Jesuits. Benedict of Nursia - founded an order of monks now called the Benedictines. John Bosco - founded an order called the Salasians many, many others.
St. Ignatius initial thought was to found the Society to convert the Muslims, as he was unaware of the protestant revolt at that time. But he founded the Society with the express purpose, and they take a special fourth vow to this effect, to be at the disposal of the Pope, whatever he might need. Well, he needed an Order to try to educate and win back the souls lost through the protestant heresy, one of the most insidious heresies of the first 1,500 years of Christendom. Later, the Society also took on the Missions to pagan lands and education of the young.
