Context and Purpose

The Society of Jesus, since its foundation and the approval of Pope Paul III on September 27, 1540, has been hounded by controversies and scandals. Some of these are coming from ignorance of the nature and identity of the religious order founded by St. Ignatius of Loyola. However, others are malicious and downright damaging. This blogs aims to shed a little light on some of these controversies and hopefully introduce people of all background to this 465-year old religious congregation aimed at helping save souls for the Greater Glory of God.
