Catholic AnswerJesuits are members of the Society of Jesus, which is a religious order that was founded by St. Ignatius Loyola and approved by Pope Paul III in 1540 with a two-fold aim: to strengthen and where necessary to restore the Catholic faith in the wake of the protestant revolt and to preach the Gospel in non-Christians lands. Thus their primary means of evangelizing was preaching and teaching.
