Jerko Matoš
Sažetak
The spiritual climate at the time of Ignatius' renewal »in capite et in membris« can be described as the autumn, the decline of the Old world and the birth of humanistic renaissance thought and search for life. Ignorance of both the clerus and the poor stimulated Ignatius to intense study and acqui¬sition of knowledge, Ignatius, as well as the first Jesuits, are to be the most ardent promoters of university studies, which resulted in universal benefit for manldnd The first Jesuits were the instigators of a network of secondary schools and universities of their own. Colleges were founded in larger towns throughout Europe, the Jesuit professas teaching lay students as well as their own ones. In 1580 the Society of Jesus already had 144 colleges, in the mid-18th century even 670. In Croatia, in Zagreb, the Jesuits also founded a college, an academy, the beginning of an educational network of schools which represented our bond with world of culture and science. The Jesuits thus rapidly changed from itinerary missionaries into a mainly educational and scholastic order. Ignatius' aim was integral education, since this was the only way to achive renewal and extension of christian education. At present there are about 6.200 Jesuits and 82.000 lay teachers educating about two million students of all grades.
