Background

Íñigo Lopez de Recalde was born to a wealthy noble family at Loyola Castle in the Kingdom of Navarre, in today's Basque province of Guipúzcoa, Spain.

In an account of his early life by his secretary Juan Alonso de Polanco, he indicated that Loyola was far from honorable, writing "An unruly and conceited soldier...he led a disorderly life as far as women, gambling and duels were concerned".

In 1511, Pope Julius II declared a reformed Holy League against France and ordered all Papal fiefs to supply troops. King John III of Navarre (1484-1516) refused to join and declared his kingdom neutral. As a result, several noble families (such as Íñigo) sided with the Spanish against their own king and people.

In 1512, the forces of Ferdinand II of Aragon along with the Castilian militia and rebel Navarre nobles joined forces under the command of General Fadrique Álvarez de Toledo of Castile against King John III of Navarre, defeating him and annexing the southern regions of Navarre into the kingdom of Castile.

Íñigo de Loyola excelled himself in battle and was appointed a senior commander to Antonio Manrique de Lara, Duke of Nájera and Castillian (Spanish) Viceroy of occupied Navarre, based at Pamplona--with the task of enforcing Spanish rule, especially the Inquisition upon the Navarre population.

While no accounts survive, the rule of Manrique de Lara as Castillian (Spanish) Viceroy must have been particularly cruel as in 1516 there was a general rebellion across occupied Navarre including Pamplona in which Manrique de Lara was killed. Íñigo de Loyola and the Castillian troops under his command regrouped and routed the rebels, burning their towns and destroying their castles.

In 1516, Íñigo de Loyola was appointed the new Viceroy of occupied Navarre commanding several thousand troops. His reign as a tyrant was especially bloodthirsty with tens of thousands of the population being cruelly tortured and butchered by his troops and secret police/inquisitors. Most notably, Íñigo began his grand plan of a new Spanish citadel at Pamplona that would be impregnable to attack.

In 1520, several important cities in the Kingdom of Castile itself were in revolt against Holy Roman Emperor Charles V, the son of Ferdinand II--including the cities of Valladolid, Tordesillas and Toledo. While the principle duty of the Viceroy Íñigo de Loyola was to use his thousands of troops to defend Spanish Navarre against French attack, instead he moved his troops south to support the campaign to crush the internal Castillian rebellion known as the "Revolt of the Comuneros".

Henry II of Navarre sensing a unique opportunity managed to raise a French army under the command of General Asparros of over 14,000 which invaded in 1521. Occupied Navarra suddenly erupted in revolt and Viceroy Íñigo de Loyola and a few thousand of his troops were beseiged in his citadel at Pamploma. The garrison and Loyola surrendered after a few days of resistence in the Battle of Pamploma around May 1521 in which Viceroy Íñigo de Loyola was badly injured --Navarre had been reconquered.

However, his imprisonment would not be long. By June 1521, a huge Castilian army overwhelmed the French General Asparros recapturing southern Navarre including Pamploma. Disgraced for his defeat and still weak from his injuries, Íñigo de Loyola was replaced as Viceroy and he returned to his family fief to recover.

It is claimed Íñigo de Loyola suddenly found religion sometime after 1521 during his recovery. Given his previous history as a brutal tyrant and sadist, it is more likely that he acquired a higher education during this period that possibly helped him refine his theories on the use of secret forces, agents and assassins to maintain order, apart from brute military force.

The growing wealth and arrogance of Spain under Charles continued to upset the remaining powers in Europe particular former ancient allies of Rome in England and Venice. Sensing a new found opportunity, Francis I of France then called a council of ambassadors at Cognac and the League of Cognac was formed in 1526 between France, Venice and England was formed against the growing wealth and might of Spain and the Vatican.

At the same time, the Peasants Revolt started in Germany, forcing Charles to commit his main troops to halting the loss of valuable fiefs. Within such turmoil, Íñigo de Loyola saw an opportunity for his redemption and sought out an audience with the young Duke of Gandia, Francis Borja--great grandson of Pope Alexander VI.

The Borja whilst wealthy and of position, had continued to lose face and influence within the Papal corridors of power, particularly since the infamous publishing of Dante Alighieri epic poem The Divine Comedy (1316) and the slandering of the Borja both as part of the eighth circle of Hell and notable members in it in serving Lucifer.

Borja saw the potential of the military models of Íñigo, but also the lacking education of the founder in politics and church law. If the model of an army of secret agent monks of Íñigo de Loyola was to work, Borja would need proof before he could dare approach Holy Roman Emperor Charles V and the Vatican. He sponsored Íñigo to go to Paris to get a proper education at the University of Paris --into the heart of the traditional mortal enemy of Spain and the Vatican--and to come back with sufficient recuits for his new secret army.

The fact that Paris was enemy territory is never discussed in most history concerning Íñigo de Loyola--let alone his past history at killing French troops, amongst others. This was not simply a quest for more education--it was the 1st clandestine operation in Jesuit history--to form a new band of secret in the heart of enemy territory and bring the order to life.

In Paris by 1530, Íñigo de Loyola eventually succeeded in bringing others to his cause including Francis Xavier, Alfonso Salmerons, Diego Laynez, and Nicholas Bobadilla, all Spanish; Peter Faber, a Frenchman; and Simão Rodrigues of Portugal.

On "Assumption Day" August 15, 1534, with the blessing of Francis Borja, Íñigo and the other six met in the crypt of the Chapel of St. Denis on, Montmartre in Paris and founded the Society of Jesus - "to attack the enemies of the church by any and all means, or to go without questioning wherever the pope might direct".

But this was not the only oath, nor ritual. For in this first most secret ceremony of the founding the Jesuits, de Borja revealed their true god to be Lucifer- Prince of all Demons, an instance of the most ancient spirit of Mari, the red goddess of the Basque region of Spain.

The extreme oath was then taken - to learn every dark art of assassination, to take any action necessary, to corrupt and destroy whatever it takes, to hold silent against threat and actual torture, to pledge absolute allegience to Lucifer.

In 1537 the new Jesuits traveled to Italy with their patron Francis Borja to seek papal approval for their order.

Pope Paul III confirmed the order through the bull Regimini militantis (September 27, 1540), but limited the number of its members to sixty. This limitation was removed through the bull Injunctum nobis on March 14, 1543.

In another significant victory for the early formation of the Jesuits, Pope Paul III issued a bull in 1545 permitting them to preach, hear confession, dispense the sacraments and say mass without having to refer to a bishop- effectively placing them outside the control of the regional clergy.

In 1546, Pope Paul III appointed the Jesuits to their first political mission, appointing Lainez and Salmeron as his official representatives at the Council of Trent as Pontifical Theologians. Lainez with the assistance of Cardinal Monroe successfully defeated all but one minor agenda item for reform of the Catholic Church and ensured the powerr of the Pope remained unchallenged.

Ignatius wrote the Jesuit Constitutions, adopted in 1554, which created a monarchical organization and stressed absolute self-abnegation and obedience to Pope and superiors (perinde ac cadaver, "well-disciplined like a corpse" as Ignatius put it). His main principle became the Jesuit motto: Ad Maiorem Dei Gloriam ("for the greater glory of God").

While technically monks, the Constitution of Loyola was unique in that it exempted priests from the cloisted rule (i.e. living in monasteries). Instead, Jesuit monks were to live "in the world".

He died in Rome on July 31, 1556.
