What were the Jesuit order Council of Trent reforms and responses of the Catholic Church?
.
Catholic AnswersThe Jesuit Order was one of the major spearheads in enacting the reforms of the Council of Trent in the Catholic Church.Is the book The Jesuit by John Gallahue a true story?
I can't really say if it was a true story or not. If I were to guess, I would say it was probably inspired by some event or other. It does remind me of the much more well-known novel, "Shoes of the Fisherman" by Morris West, another page-turner that became a blockbuster starring Anthony Quinn. He played Kiril Lakota, a Russian cardinal exiled by the communists to Siberia who is suddenly freed and flown to Rome, where, upon the Pope's death, the conclave elects him as Pope Kiril I. At the time the book was published, there really was a cardinal who fit the description of the exiled Kiril Lakota to a "t": Iosef Cardinal Slipji. The amazing thing, though, is just how prescient that novel was: not long after it was published,
he was indeed released in almost exactly the same manner as the character, Cyril Lakota!
Remember that, during the communist reign throughout Eastern Europe -- especially in Russia and [the] Ukraine, where "The Jesuit" takes place -- there were numerous clandestinely ordained priests and even bishops ministering in secret to the flock. Most of these were Byzantine [Ukrainian or Russian] Rite Catholics -- akin in Liturgy and Tradition to the Eastern Orthodox -- just as is the protagonist in this marvelous story.
Was Ignatius Loyola a protestant leader?
No he wasn't. He was a influentual Catholic leader of the Jesuits.
I never heard that the Jesuits were "hated". I know that the Jesuits were not welcome in protestant England, and Henry VIII, and his daughter, Elizabeth I, tortured and killed them as fast as they could find them. There was some rivalry in the East between the Franciscan and Dominican Missions, and the Jesuits, but nothing that I know of that amounted to hate. In the 18th century the Jesuits were suppressed by the Holy Father due to political pressure from various nations who were trying to maintain religion as a national interest, while the Jesuits were seen as international.

Why did the Aboriginal People kill the Jesuits?
The Aboriginal People killed the Jesuits because the Aboriginals saw the Jesuits as "evil spirits" who brought upon deadly disease.
In 1767, the Spanish Empire viewed the Jesuits as too close to the papacy and nobles in the lands where they were based. They also disliked the universality of the group. The Catholic Church had become very powerful, and monarchs started to view it as competition for power.
Why were the catholics and puritans and jesuits a threat to elizabeth the first?
Although all of these faiths caused a problem for Elizabeth, It is thought that the most predominent of them was Catholicism.
As far as Elizabeth was concerned, so long as Catholics behaved themselves, were loyal to her, and attended church now and then, they were free to believe what they wished. Elizabeth tried to accommodate Catholic beliefs in her religious settlement so that they could go to church without feeling guilty or disloyal to their faith, and often turned a blind eye to Catholics who had secret services in their home. There was no attempt to ruthlessly seek out Catholics, and no desire to put ordinary men and women to death simply for their faith.
After creating a fairly stable religious set up, whereby England was a protestant country without objection to catholicism in private practice, Elizabeth came to be dismayed at the arrival of cousin Mary. Although this is not the question asked, it is important to understand the background of Mary's arrival before persuing the religious aspects of it.
Mary Queen of Scott's had a claim to the English throne which was based on the fact that she was the grand-daughter of Margaret Tudor, sister of Henry VIII who was Elizabeth's father. In the eyes of the Catholics, Mary's claim appeared stronger than Elizabeth's because they believed that Henry's marriage to Anne Boleyn was illegal. When Mary's young husband Francis II died in December 1560, Mary -who was about to become 18 years of age, was left in a difficult position. Unwilling to stay in France and live under the domination of her mother-in-law so she decided to return to Scotland and take her chances with the Protestant reformers.
On 19th August 1561, Mary returned to Scotland and recognised the Reformed church and allowed it a modest endowment but not full establishment. The Protestant reformers were angry.
In 1568, Mary was in great danger living in Scotland due to religious circumstances, and so in fear, fled to England in search of help from her cousin, Elizabeth I.
However, the presence of Mary in England was very alarming to Elizabeth, as the religious differences had only recently been solved, and Mary's presence was almost certain to cause a Catholic rebellion. As a strong figurehead for Catholic uprising, backed by the pope, protestant officials in England wanted to make certain that news of Mary's arrival did not spread, allowing plots to form and religious unsettling to occur. It was this fear that caused the decision the imprison Mary, which would continue for a further 19 years. During this time, many catholic plots were generated. These include:
- A papal bull issued on 25 February 1570 by Pope Pius V declaring "Elizabeth, the pretended Queen of England and the servant of crime" to be a heretic and releasing all her subjects from any allegiance to her and excommunicating any that obeyed her orders
- The Ridolfi plot was a plot in 1570 to assassinate Queen Elizabeth I of England and replace her with Mary, Queen of Scots. The plot was hatched and planned by Roberto di Ridolfi, an international banker who was able to travel between Brussels, Rome and Madrid to gather support without attracting too much suspicion.
- The Babington plot, generated by Anthony Babington was similar to the Ridolfi plot, intending to kill Elizabeth in favour of Mary. In 1586 Mary replied to a secret letter from Anthony Babington. As with earlier plots, Babington and his fellow conspirators planned to kill Elizabeth and make Mary Queen of England. Unfortunately for Mary, she had been trapped. English secret agents had always known about the plot and Mary was charged with treason. Elizabeth, however, couldn't bring herself to execute her cousin. Months passed before Elizabeth's advisors pressured her to sign the death warrant. On the 8th Feb 1587 Mary was beheaded at Fotheringhay Castle in England.
Where did the Jesuit order originate?
I suppose you can take you pick. The Jesuit Order originated in Paris with St. Ignatius of Loyola bringing together a number of other students to study his spiritual exercises; or you could say Rome, as that is where the Holy Father who approved the new Order was when he issued the proclamation establishing them.
When was The Jesuits in North America in the Seventeenth Century created?
The Jesuits in North America in the Seventeenth Century was created in 1867.
Were the Jesuits responsible for the rapture theory?
A:
No. The 'Rapture' is a theological invention of John Nelson Darby, the nineteenth-century founder of the Plymouth Brethren. Although few people belong the the Plymouth Brethren Church, many Christians believe in its founder's most enduring theological creation, the Rapture. However, the Jesuits, along with the entire Catholic Church, regard Darby's theory as heresy.
.
Barbara R. Rossing (The Rapture Exposed) says that according to one critic, the Rapture has its origins with a young girl's vision. In 1830, in Port Glasgow, Scotland, fifteen-year-old Margaret MacDonald attended a healing service. There, she was said to have seen a vision of a two-stage return of Jesus Christ. The story of her vision was adopted and amplified by Darby.
.
The belief that Jesus will come again was not new, and Christians have always taught that Jesus will return to earth and that believers should live in anticipation of his second coming. Darby's new teaching was that Christ would return twice, first in secret to "Rapture" his church out of the world and up to heaven, then a second time after seven years of global tribulation for non-believers, to establish a Jerusalem-based kingdom on earth.
.
It is one thing to predict the Rapture, it is an entirely different thing to demonstrate that it will ever happen. The Rapture has no genuine biblical support, so there is no good reason to believe there will ever be a Rapture or that the church and its members will be taken bodily up into heaven. John Nelson Darby has sunk into obscurity, apart from his followers in the Plymouth Brethren, and so should his predictions.
