1491: Ignatius Loyola, who founded the Jesuits, was born in Loyola in northern Spain.
Die heilige Ignatius Loyola word dus in Viljoen/Winterbach se werk gekenmerk deur pogings om sy siel te suiwer en sy liggaam te beheer, in teenstelling met die vroulike mistici en geestelikes wat visioene het en deur ander persone gedwing word om op 'n bepaalde wyse op te tree.
Ignatius Loyola in the 16th century as the "Pope's cavalry," is the largest clerical order in the Catholic Church, with almost 20,000 priests.
