Jesuits. Properly called the Society of Jesus, a
religious order of clerks regular founded by
Ignatius Loyola. It received papal approval in 1540. The spirituality of the Society is based upon the
Spiritual Exercises of Ignatius, a thirty-day series of retreat meditations which most Jesuits undertake twice during their training. The power of the Jesuits in the 17th and 18th cents. gave rise to considerable hostility in political circles of Europe, and also in some religious ones, particularly among the
Jansenists. In 1773 the Society was formally suppressed by Clement XIV, but restored again in 1814 by Pius VII. From then on the Society showed itself especially devoted to the Holy See.
