Introduction
In the mid-sixteenth century, when the Reformation had reduced the Catholic Church in parts of Europe, a Spanish nobleman named Ignatius Loyola fell under conviction for having wasted his life.

In addition to the usual monastic vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience, its members would pledge absolute obedience to the pope and organize themselves for action. Pope Paul III formally approved the Society of Jesus (Jesuits) on this day, 27 September, 1540 in the Bull Regimini militantis ecclesiae. Originally he restricted the order to sixty members, but seeing their effectiveness soon lifted that restriction. Initial efforts of the society brought about reform, revival, improved education, and missionary expansion of the church.
