olasank [31]3 years ago

The Jesuit order was founded in 1539 in Rome (Italy) by Ignacio de Loyola, a former nobleman of the Basque noble family of Azpeitia (Guipuzcoa), who found faith after being wounded during a battle in Pamplona in 1521, and approved by the Holy See in 1540, following the bull of Pope Paul III 'Regimini Militants Ecclesiae'.

The Jesuits have an almost military type structure (absolute obedience), a clear mission (to the greater glory of God), a total lack of concern for worldly successes (vain desires).

With the Latin motto 'Ad maiorem Dei gloriam' (To the greater glory of God), the Jesuit order aims to spread the Catholic faith through missions, apostolate, teaching and science.

According to their rules, they work for the evangelization of the world, in defense of the faith and the promotion of justice, in permanent cultural and interreligious dialogue and the engine of the company is to deepen humanistic studies and scientists to deliver them to the schools and colleges that were opening in Europe.

Since its beginning, Jesuits have run the most important centers of higher education in Europe, including the prestigious Roman College, in addition to providing services in countries where the Catholic religion was persecuted or banned.

An important work was the undertaken by the also Basque, San Francisco Javier in his missionary work of conversion in India, Japan and China.

The Jesuits, in addition to the three vows of the religious - poverty, chastity and obedience - profess a fourth, related to the obedience to the Pope, to which they are thus united in a special way.

Describe how one of Thomas Edison's inventions changed American life?
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Thomas Edison's invention of the light bulb changed American life tremendously. Thomas Edison was known for inventing what is called the light bulb, and that made a huge impact to have Americans live on a daily basis. Americans had a hard time seeing things in the dark, which caused a lot of complications when it comes to completing tasks or just going through and out buildings. Because of this invention, Americans could easily see things when inside a house, building, and when it's night time. The light bulb gave light so people can do tasks without having to do them in the dark. Without the light bulb, it would be very complicated to do things in the dark, and people would have a hard time going through the night or dark places.
