During his early studies in Rome, he would regularly go out into the streets of the city to care for victims of the plague. He himself contracted the disease as a result of his efforts for the suffering and died on June 21, 1591, at the age of twenty-three, six years short of his ordination as a Jesuit priest. Even before his time as a Jesuit, Aloysius was known for his love of prayer and fasting. He received his First Communion from St. Charles Borromeo. As a Jesuit at the Roman College, he continued to devote his time to prayer and practices of austerity. His spiritual director was Robert Bellarmine who later was canonized and declared a doctor of the church. When Robert was dying, he asked to be buried next to the grave of Aloysius. Today, they rest next to each other in the church of St. Ignatius Loyola in Rome. Pope Benedict XIII canonized Aloysius in 1726, and three years later declared him to be the patron of youth in the Catholic Church, an honor later confirmed by Pope Pius XI in 1926. Adjacent to our university campus is a parish church, St. Aloysius. A statue of Aloysius stands outside the church, History representing the saint carrying in his arms a victim of the plague. Two miles north of the university is a Jesuit secondary One of the most frequently asked questions about Gonzaga school also named in honor of the saint, Gonzaga Preparatory University is the origin of the name. Who was St. Aloysius School. Gonzaga University in Spokane is the only Jesuit Gonzaga? He is an Italian Jesuit saint of the 16th century. university in the world named after St. Aloysius. In 1887 when Father Joseph Cataldo (pictured below), an Italian born Jesuit, founded Gonzaga College in Spokane, Washington, it seemed fitting to name the new school after his fellow Jesuit and fellow Italian, St. Aloysius Gonzaga. Aloysius is the Latin form of Gonzaga’s given name, Luigi. In English, the equivalent form would be Louis. The Gonzaga name is well known in Italy. Aloysius Gonzaga was born at Castiglione near Mantua, Italy, in 1568 to a celebrated family of wealth and prestige. As the first born son of his father, Ferrante, and his mother, Marta, he was in line to inherit his father’s title of Marquis. He grew up amid the violence and brutality of the Renaissance Italy and witnessed the murder of two of his brothers. In 1576, Aloysius’ parents sent him to attend the court of the Grand Duke of Tuscany, Francesco de’Medici, in Florence. Later, accompanied by his parents, he traveled to Spain to join the court of Philip II in Madrid. In Spain, Aloysius decided he wanted to join the newly founded religious order, The Society of Jesus. His father resisted his decision and there followed a struggle of wills that continued after his return to Castiglione in 1584. But Aloysius eventually prevailed.

  • Catechization and Conversion a Comparison of Two German Jesuit Plays on the Life of St
    journal of jesuit studies 1 (2014) 212-226 brill.com/jjs Catechization and Conversion A Comparison of Two German Jesuit Plays on the Life of St. Augustine Elizabeth Ellis-Marino Ph.D. candidate, Late Medieval and Renaissance Studies, University of Arizona [email protected] Abstract The conversion of large portions of the German-speaking world from Protestantism to Catholicism in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries is considered to be one of the successes of the European Counter-Reformation and of the Jesuits. However, Catholicization programs, especially those supported by the territorial governments, were not received without resistance. In both embattled and secure areas, the Jesuits viewed their schools as primary to their mission to reclaim Protestants and to solidify Catholic faith. Drama was one of the most visible ways that Jesuit teachers could reach the general populace for this purpose. Conversion and saints’ lives were common themes in Jesuit plays across Europe. One of the most popular of these plays which contributed to the process of Catholic confessionalization was the German Jesuit play Augustinus conversus by Jakob Gretser, first staged in the staunchly Catholic city of Ingolstadt. In the aftermath of an armed rebellion against the Counter-Reformation in the territory of Paderborn, the Jesuits staged a comedy by Augustinus Turranius which drew heavily on Gretser’s play. In staging a comedy about the adolescence of St. Augustine, the Jesuits expounded on the themes of conversion, redemption, and forgiveness without directly referring to the situation in Paderborn. In this paper, both plays are placed within the context of the cities in which they were composed and performed, and the religious struggles in both cities are considered in the light of the larger Jesuit missionary project of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.

    NOTES 1 Introduction I. This term designates first of all the act of 'confessing' or professing a par­ ticular faith; secondly, it indicates the content of that which is confessed or professed, as in the Augsburg Confession; finally then it comes to mean the group that confesses this particular content, the church or 'confession'. 2 The New Religious Orders I. The terms 'order' and 'congregation' in this period were not always clear. An order usually meant solemn vows, varying degrees of exemption from the local bishop, acceptance of one of the major rules (Benedictine, Augustinian, Franciscan), and for women cloister.A congregation indicated simple vows and usually subordination to local diocesan authority. A con­ fraternity usually designated an association of lay people, sometimes including clerics, organized under a set of rules , to foster their common religious life and usually to undertake some common apostolic work. In some cases confraternities evolved into congregations, as was the case with many of the third orders, and congregations evolved into orders. 2. There is no effort here to list all the new orders and congregations that appeared in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. 3. An English translation of Regimini Militantis Ecclesiae, the papal bull of 27 September 1540 establishing the Society ofJesus, is found in John Olin, The Catholic Reformation: Savonarola to Ignatius Loyola: Reform in the Church, /495-1540 (New York: Harper and Row, 1969), pp. 203-8. 3 The Council of Trent and the Papacy I.

Portier, Ph.D. In its analysis of mystical body of Christ theology in the twentieth century, this dissertation identifies three major streams of mystical body theology operative in the early part of the century: the Roman, the German-Romantic, and the French-Social- Liturgical. Delineating these three streams of mystical body theology sheds light on the diversity of scholarly positions concerning the heritage of mystical body theology, on its mid twentieth-century recession, as well as on Pope Pius XII’s 1943 encyclical, Mystici Corporis Christi, which enshrined “mystical body of Christ” in Catholic magisterial teaching. Further, it links the work of Virgil Michel and Louis-Marie Chauvet, two scholars remote from each other on several fronts, in the long, winding French stream.

  • Counter-Reformation Rome As Caput Mundi
    chapter 7 Romanus and Catholicus: Counter-Reformation Rome as Caput Mundi Simon Ditchfield Rome is not just a place to visit but an idea to “think with.” When Rome became headquarters of the first world religion with followers on all four continents then known to Europeans—Europe, Asia, Africa, and America—the Eternal City had been Christian for more than a millennium. In his famous sermon delivered on the feast of Sts. Peter and Paul (29 June), Pope Leo I (r.440–61) un- equivocally promoted the connection between Christian Rome and the “heav- enly Kingdom” of a celestial Jerusalem: For these are the men, through whom the light of Christ’s gospel shone on you, O Rome, and through whom you, who was the teacher of error, were made the disciple of Truth. These are your holy Fathers and true shepherds, who gave you claims to be numbered among the heavenly kingdoms, and built you under much better and happier auspices than they, by whose zeal the first foundations of your walls were laid: and of whom the one that gave you your name [Romulus] defiled you with his brother’s blood. These are they who promoted you to such glory, that being made a holy nation, a chosen people, a priestly and royal state [1 Peter 2:9], and the head of the world [caput mundi] through blessed Peter’s Holy See you attained a wider sway by the worship of God than by earthly government.1 In the early modern era, this very claim that Rome be considered caput mundi through the authority of St.

  • By Richard Thornton SAINT ROBERT BELLARMINE
    A STUDY OF “THE SAINTS THROUGH THE CENTURIES” By Richard Thornton SAINT ROBERT BELLARMINE (1542-1621) – SEVENTEENTH CENTURY On Sept. 17 of each year, our Catholic Church celebrates the Italian Cardinal and theologian Saint Robert Bellarmine. One of the great saints of the Jesuit order, Saint Bellarmine has also been declared a Doctor of the Church and the Patron of Catechists. Robert Bellarmine was born October 4, 1542 in the Tuscan town of Montepulciano. As a young boy, he was not interested in playing games. He liked to spend his time repeating to his younger brothers and sisters the sermons he had heard. He also liked to explain the lessons of the catechism to the little farm children of the neighborhood. It was his great desire to become a Jesuit Priest, but his father had different plans for him. His father wanted him to study many subjects, including art and music. When he was eighteen, his father gave in, and he was permitted to join the Jesuits. He studied philosophy for three years in Rome, then taught humanities until 1567, when he began a study of theology that lasted until 1569. His final stage of his training emphasized the refutation of Protestant errors. Saint Bellarmine received ordination to the priesthood in Belgium, where his sermons drew large crowds of both Catholic and Protestants. In 1576, he returned to Italy and took up an academic position addressing theological controversies. The resulting work, his “Disputations,” became a classic of Catholic apologetics. Near the end of the 1580s, this great theologian became “Spiritual Father” to the Roman College.

    The Holy See VISIT OF THE HOLY FATHER TO THE PONTIFICAL GREGORIAN UNIVERSITY ADDRESS OF HIS HOLINESS BENEDICT XVI Friday, 3 November 2006 Your Eminences, Venerable Brothers in the Episcopate and in the Priesthood, Dear Professors and Dear Students, I am pleased to meet with you today. My first greeting goes precisely to you students, whom I see in large numbers in this elegant and austere interior quadrangle, but whom I know are also gathered in various halls and are in contact with us by means of screens and loudspeakers. Dear young people, I thank you for the sentiments expressed by your representative and by you yourselves. In a certain sense, the University is truly yours. It has existed since St Ignatius founded it for you, for students, long ago in 1551. All the energy that your Professors and Lecturers expend in teaching and research is for you. The daily efforts and worries of the Rector Magnificent, the Vice-Rectors, the Deans and the Provosts are for you. You are aware of this and I am sure that you are also grateful to them for it. I then offer a special greeting to Cardinal Zenon Grocholewski. As Prefect of the Congregation for Catholic Education, he is Grand Chancellor of this University and represents the Roman Pontiff in it (cf. Statuta Universitatis, art. 6, 2). For this very reason, my Predecessor Pius XI, of venerable memory, declared the Gregorian University "Pontifical": "plenissimo iure ac nomine" (cf. Apostolic Letter Gregorianam Studiorum, in AAS 24 [1932], 268). 2 The actual history of the Roman College and of its heir, the Gregorian University, as the Rector said in his tribute to me, forms the basis of these very special Statutes.

  • The Society of Jesus and the Eradication of Hate
    \\jciprod01\productn\G\GHS\11-1\GHS108.txt unknown Seq: 1 9-JUL-15 9:56 The Society of Jesus and the Eradication of Hate Michael W. Maher, S.J. Gonzaga University INTRODUCTION The reality of vendettas, and violent responses against real or supposed breaches of personal or familial honor, marked the landscape of Europe during the early modern period, from nautical expansion, which began in 1450, through the French Revolution in the 1790s. In particular, in cultures identified as Mediterranean, as described as a discrete cultural archetype by historian Fernand Braudel (1972), specific societies held codes of honor and “face,” the term used to designate a personal appearance that reflected a status of inner dignity and exterior relations. Subsequently, violent out- breaks resulted from attempts to return honor, good face, and the respective social and familial relations. As important protagonists in early modern life, the Jesuits found themselves involved in the important the effort to “save face” and to eradicate the hatred that resulted in the accusations against personal or familial honor. This study examines how members of the Society of Jesus worked toward the eradication of hatred and why this effort may be identified as an extension of the Jesuit’s fundamental identity. In order to understand why the Jesuits involved themselves in the eradica- tion of hatred caused by retaliations, vendettas, and other violence related to saving face, this work will first explore the significance of honor in early modern Mediterranean society. I. HONOR, SHAME, AND “FACE” IN THE MEDITERRANEAN REGION Building on the work of Erving Goffman (1959; 1963; 1982), which is still considered the surest starting point for a study of the sociological con- cept of “face,” those working in that field have identified face as the visual representation of the dignity or prestige one has achieved through personal merits or familial rank and the honor that society places on such a rank or merit.

  • May Xiii. St. Robert Bellarmine Archbishop of Capua and Cardinal, Doctor of the Church A.D
    Fr. Alban Butler Lives of the Saints | St. Robert Bellarmine (May 13) MAY XIII. ST. ROBERT BELLARMINE ARCHBISHOP OF CAPUA AND CARDINAL, DOCTOR OF THE CHURCH A.D. 1621 One of the greatest polemical theologians the Church has ever produced, and her foremost controver- sialist against the doctrines of the Protestant Reformation, was Robert Francis Romulus Bellarmine, whose feast is kept upon this day. Born in 1542 at Montepulciano in Tuscany, of a noble but impover- ished family, he was the son of Vincent Bellarmino and Cynthia Cervini, half-sister to Pope Marcellus II. Even as a boy Robert showed great promise. He knew Virgil by heart, he wrote good Latin verses, he played the violin, and he could hold his own in public disputations, to the great admiration of his fellow-citizens. Moreover, he was so deeply devout that in 1559, when Robert was seventeen, the rec- tor of the Jesuit college at Montepulciano described him in a letter as “the best of our school, and not far from the kingdom of Heaven.” It was his ambition to enter the Society of Jesus, but he had to en- counter strong opposition from his father, who had formed other plans for his son. Robert’s mother, however, was on his side, and eventually he obtained the permission he desired. In 1560 he went to Rome to present himself to the father general of the order, by whom his noviciate was curtailed to en- able him to pass almost immediately into the Roman College to enter upon the customary studies. Ill-health dogged his steps from the cradle to the grave, and his delicacy became so pronounced that, at the close of his three years of philosophy, his superiors sent him to Florence to recruit his strength in his native Tuscan air, whilst at the same time teaching boys and giving lectures on rhetoric and on the Latin poets.
