Reclaiming Catholicism

Was St. Ignatius a Franciscan in Disguise?

Most agree Saint Ignatius of Loyola was converted to faith by an account of the life of St. Francis. But there’s a lot more Franciscan influence on the Jesuits than just a story. One might even say there would be no Society of Jesus if the Franciscans hadn’t taught them everything they know first. Fr. Casey reclaims some Catholic history by looking at the roots of the Jesuits and many of the Order's practices.
