Jesuits, members of the Society of Jesus founded by St
Ignatius Loyola, in Paris in 1534. They were bound by vows of chastity, poverty, obedience, and submission to the holy see, and authorized by papal bull in 1540. The Society's principal activities were preaching, instruction, and confession, and it formed a spiritual army bound by obedience. The object of the Society was to support the Roman Church in its conflict with the 16th-cent. reformers and to propagate its faith among the heathen. St Francis
Xavier and other missionaries carried out the latter work in distant parts of the world. The secret power of the organization brought it into collision with the civil authorities even in Roman Catholic countries, whence its members have at times been expelled.
