Question

The chapter's "Continuity and Change" section mentions religious societies that advocated a return to strict and uncompromising obedience to the authority of the Church and its ecclesiastical hierarchy. Which of the following societies included among its guidelines "Rule 13," which addresses black and white?

Answer 1

Answer:

The Jesuits.

Explanation:

The Jesuits are a member of the Society of Jesus, a Roman Catholic order of priests founded by St. Ignatius Loyola, St. Francis Xavier, among others in 1534, to do missionary work. The order was opposed the Reformation. It has retained an important influence in Catholic thought and education, even though it has suffered periodic persecution.

The basic continuity in any human endeavor is found in the goals that it pursues, and in how we cope with the intentions of pursuing them. A society or a profession is recognizably one and the same throughout a long history because its pursuit of a goal is always the same. These goals may be looked at from two points of view, abstract values or as concrete embodiments of those values. The kind of change that we are experiencing today and the sort of adaptation that we are making seem to fall largely into the most profound kind of adaptation, both in the Church and in the Society of Jesus.
