<p> | <p> Or </p> <p> he religious order founded by [[Ignatius]] Loyola in 1534, and approved of by bull of [[Paul]] III. in 1540, for the conversion of heretics and the propagation of the [[Roman]] [[Catholic]] faith, and reputed, however self-denying at times, to be unscrupulous in the means they employ to achieve their ends, which is, broadly speaking, re-establishing over Christen dom the tyranny of the Church; they established themselves in the several countries of Europe, but their policy was found dangerous to political liberty as well as religious, and they are now everywhere nearly stamped out; there are nevertheless still several communities of them in the south of Europe, and even colleges in England, Ireland, and the [[United]] States, as well as missions under them in heathen parts. </p> | ||
