EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Formation of the Order of Jesuits in 1540" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print captures the scene where Pope Paul III confirms the establishment of the Society of Jesus through his bull Regimini militantis ecclesiae. Intriguingly, we see a congregation of cardinals gathered around Pope Paul III, their expressions reflecting both anticipation and reverence. This assembly represents a pivotal point for Catholicism as it marks the official recognition and approval of the Jesuit order on September 27th, 1540. The founding document depicted here holds immense historical significance as it established the Jesuits as an official Catholic religious order. The Society's formation was part of a larger movement known as the Counter Reformation, which sought to combat Protestantism and revitalize Catholicism during a time when divisions within Christianity were prevalent. This lithograph is taken from Charlotte Mary Yonge's A Pictorial History of the World's Great Nations published in New York in 1882. It serves not only as a visual representation but also provides insight into church history and religion during this transformative period. As we gaze upon this engraving with its intricate details and rich symbolism, we are transported back to witness firsthand one chapter in the story that shaped our world today – one that celebrates faith, resilience, and unwavering dedication to religious principles.
