Jesuits. Secrets of the monastic orders
Description:
Jesuits. They were created to fight the Reformation and turned into an iron hand, clad in a velvet glove, with which the popes dealt with their enemies. But they call themselves modest teachers, exemplary missionaries and loyal confessors. So loyal that to this day the ruling circles of Europe turn to them for confession and spiritual advice. And the shadow of the Jesuits, as it was five centuries ago, continues to flicker on the sidelines of the government buildings in which the fate of Europe is decided. The word “Jesuit” has long been synonymous with power, deceit, power, ready to sweep away everything on the way to its goal. The Order was repeatedly accused of possessing occult knowledge and claims to world domination.
Who are they really? Why are politicians, historians and writers so interested in them? Even Dumas would turn Musketeer Aramis into a general of the Jesuit Order. What do the Jesuits really want? How is the Order connected to Russia? Does it really affect the fate of the world? What is the peculiarity of the worldview of the Jesuits and is it true that they resort to the help of mysticism?
We will get answers to these questions during the tour, where we will get acquainted with the history of the Order, exciting as an action-packed novel, and the only difference will be that everything will be documented truth.
We will enter the heart of the Order in Rome, the rooms where the founder of St. Ignatius Loyola lived, then we will visit the temple of Jesus, considered one of the most beautiful in Rome, where the spirit of the Jesuits is captured in architecture and frescoes, and finally we will enter the church of St. Ignatius, a church born by the Jesuits for the Jesuits.
We will see: the rooms where the founder of the Order lived, the corridor painted by the Jesuit artist Andrea Pozzo, the Church of Jesus, the main church of the order and the Church of St. Ignatius Loyola.
Note: Due to the needs of the Order, you can visit the house of St. Ignatius Loyola from Monday to Friday from 16.00 to 18.00, so this tour should be planned for the afternoon.
