01:53 Thanks for joining me.
01:55 On September the 27th, 1540, Pope Paul III
01:59 sat in the apostolic palace in the Vatican City,
02:02 wondering if things could possibly get worse,
02:05 for him and for his church.
02:07 He realized that the Vatican City
02:10 had a lot of ground to make up.
02:12 It had been 23 years since Martin Luther
02:15 had nailed his 95 theses to the door of the Castle Church
02:19 in Wittenberg, Germany,
02:20 and since that time whole countries
02:23 had broken free from Rome's control.
02:26 Parts of Germany and Scandinavia,
02:29 England, the Netherlands, Switzerland,
02:32 they all seceded from Rome.
02:35 Luther's writings and the writings of other Reformers
02:38 had spread across Europe.
02:40 People were experiencing liberation.
02:44 Long before Luther,
02:46 there were reform movements within Catholicism.
02:49 Peter Waldo pressed for reform within the church
02:52 in the 12th century.
02:53 He spoke against purgatory and against the teaching
02:56 of transubstantiation,
02:59 which states that during the communion service
03:01 the bread and wine, or juice,
03:03 become the actual body and blood of Jesus.
03:06 For his trouble he was severely persecuted.
03:10 He and his followers retreated to live in the isolated valleys
03:13 of the Piedmont region in northern Italy,
03:15 where they worked and educated.
03:17 But it wasn't far enough away to be out of the reach
03:20 of a church that was determined to destroy them.
03:25 John Wycliffe, who was born around the year 1328,
03:28 is known today as “the Morning Star of the Reformation.”
03:32 Educated at Balliol College in Oxford,
03:34 he translated the Bible from Latin into English,
03:37 or the English of his day.
03:40 From his parish in Lutterworth in England,
03:42 Wycliffe attacked monasticism,
03:45 the veneration of saints,
03:47 transubstantiation,
03:48 and he even said the papacy wasn't biblical,
03:52 going so far as to equate the papacy with the antichrist.
03:56 It's no wonder he wasn't popular.
03:58 After his death the church declared him to be a heretic,
04:02 exhumed his body, burned his remains,
04:05 and cast his ashes into the River Swift,
04:09 which flows through Lutterworth.
04:11 Wycliffe influenced the Czech reformer Jan Hus, or John Huss.
04:16 Now, you have to keep in mind that to speak out
04:18 against the church meant death,
04:21 and these men knew that.
04:22 Huss was commanded by the church to appear at a trial
04:25 in Constance, Germany.
04:27 The church promised to protect him.
04:30 But the moment he arrived in that city,
04:32 he was apprehended by the church,
04:34 thrown into a loathsome prison, left to languish there.
04:38 Then he was brought out and executed,
04:40 and his ashes were thrown into the Rhine River.
04:44 Luther was by no means the first burr
04:47 under the saddle of the church,
04:49 but he was definitely the biggest challenge
04:51 they'd had to deal with.
04:52 Now, it's not like Luther didn't have
04:54 plenty of material to work with.
04:56 Church leaders, many of them,
04:58 were openly corrupt;
04:59 the faithful were kept completely in the dark
05:01 as far as Scripture was concerned.
05:04 They couldn't possess the Bible.
05:05 In fact, to have the Bible, portions of the Bible,
05:08 even handwritten portions of the Bible,
05:11 was enough to get a person sentenced to death.
05:15 The church financed the building of St Peter's
05:18 by selling indulgences.
05:20 This was a phenomenal abuse of ignorant church members,
05:23 telling them that sins could be forgiven
05:25 or temporal punishment for sin would be lessened
05:28 if they paid money to the church.
05:31 Indulgences could be bought for the dead.
05:34 It was outrageous.
05:36 Reform was inevitable.
05:39 And by the time Luther stood up,
05:40 and Melanchthon with him,
05:42 and Calvin
05:43 and Farel
05:43 and Zwingli
05:44 and Knox,
05:45 all roughly at the same time,
05:47 the world was shaken.
05:50 And the church trembled.
05:54 Which brings us back to September the 27th, 1540,
05:58 at a meeting that took place on that day,
06:01 here in the Vatican.
06:02 A small group of priests
06:04 was ushered into Pope Paul's presence.
06:07 A group with an agenda, a concerned group.
06:10 Concerned by what they saw happening to the church,
06:13 which they believed was divinely commissioned
06:16 to represent God on Earth.
06:18 They were led by a sharply intelligent man,
06:21 a theologian and former soldier.
06:23 His name was Ignatius of Loyola.
06:27 His words at that memorable meeting
06:28 have been paraphrased by the late author Malachi Martin.
06:32 He said, “Holy Father, the papacy and the Roman Catholic
06:36 Church are in mortal trouble.
06:38 Needed is a modern weapon to fight this totally new warfare.
06:44 Give us, a new charter like no other charter given before.
06:48 Make us independent of all local authorities
06:52 and directly responsible to Your Holiness.
06:56 We will go anywhere at any time at any cost
07:01 to life and comfort in order to do anything.”
07:05 And so the Society of Jesus came into existence: the Jesuits.
07:10 It was the first time an organization quite like this
07:12 had existed within the Roman Catholic Church.
07:15 The pope would launch a counter reformation,
07:19 a strategy to press back against
07:21 the advances made by Protestantism.
07:24 The Jesuits would be a significant factor
07:26 in aiding the church to regain lost prestige,
07:31 power and influence.
07:33 >>Dr. Damsteegt: The Counter Reformation
07:34 was simply the response of the church
07:38 against what they saw, an uprising.
07:41 Kind of a revolt that should be put out.
07:44 What they did is analyzing the arguments
07:48 that were presented by Luther and others,
07:51 and trying to counteract it.
07:54 You know, you have to keep in mind,
07:56 the church was one church, and there is no split whatsoever.
08:01 And the church wanted to preserve this,
08:04 and they thought the greatest sin in the world
08:07 would be to ruin the unity of the church.
08:16 >>John: When you're losing market share,
08:18 when in a sporting event you have to come from behind,
08:21 when it's the third quarter of the Super Bowl
08:23 and you're down by 28 points to 3,
08:25 and it looks like you're about to lose big,
08:28 you mount a comeback effort.
08:30 Some comebacks are successful, some not so much.
08:34 This would be a comeback of epic proportions.
08:38 If Rome was going to fix the damage caused by Luther
08:42 and Wycliffe and Farel and a host of others,
08:45 something had to be done.
08:47 And it would take some remarkable leadership.
08:51 Which brings us to Ignatius of Loyola.
08:55 I'll have more in just a moment.

10:09 He was born here in Azpeitia, at the Castle of Loyola,
10:13 in what's known today as Basque Country in northern Spain,
10:18 about 30 miles from the border with France
10:21 and about 60 miles from Pamplona,
10:23 famous for the Running of the Bulls.
10:26 This basilica, the santuario de Loyola,
10:29 is built on the site of his birthplace.
10:33 He was named Iñigo, the youngest of thirteen children.
10:37 His mother died shortly after he was born,
10:39 so he was raised by the wife of a local blacksmith.
10:41 He took the surname Loyola,
10:44 a reference to this place where he was born and raised.
10:46 At the time, it was just a village.
10:49 When he was 17, he joined the military.
10:52 He became an expert in dueling.
10:54 It's said that when a man
10:56 challenged the divinity of Christ,
10:59 he challenged that man to a duel,
11:01 and he killed him with his sword.
11:04 When he was 18 years old, he was employed by the Duke of Najera.
11:07 He spent 12 years working for the man.
11:10 He was involved in a lot of battles.
11:12 But his military career came to an end in 1521,
11:16 during the Battle of Pamplona.
11:17 He was struck by a cannon ball, seriously injured.
11:21 One of his legs was shattered.
11:23 It's a wonder he survived at all.
11:25 But he did survive,
11:26 and spent the rest of his life walking with a limp.
11:32 During his recovery,
11:33 he underwent a spiritual experience
11:36 which led him to devote the rest of his life
11:39 to the service of his faith.
11:41 He read about Jesus and about the lives
11:43 of the saints of his church,
11:45 and was impressed by people like Francis of Assisi.
11:49 He spent weeks in prayer and meditation in this cave,
11:53 developing what would eventually be called
11:56 his Spiritual Exercises.
11:59 During this time Inigo experienced a number of visions.
12:04 According to one writer, they appeared to him as
12:06 "a form in the air near him and this form
12:10 gave him much consolation
12:12 because it was exceedingly beautiful,
12:14 it somehow seemed to have the shape of a serpent
12:17 and had many things that shone like eyes, but were not eyes.
12:23 He received much delight and consolation
12:25 from gazing upon this object,
12:27 but when the object vanished he became disconsolate.”
12:34 In order to grow close to God,
12:36 he pursued an ascetic life of strict self-denial,
12:40 as many monks or priests did in those days.
12:44 He made a pilgrimage to Israel,
12:45 hoping to convert the people controlling
12:47 the Holy Land to Christianity.
12:49 The Spiritual Exercises he developed
12:51 set the tone for the Jesuit order.
12:57 The exercises emphasized discernment regarding
13:01 the difference between good and evil in a person's life.
13:04 He taught that through discernment
13:07 a believer can achieve a mystical union with God,
13:10 and therefore understand God's will.
13:15 This trend toward mysticism in the philosophy of the Jesuits
13:19 encouraged a larger movement toward mysticism
13:23 during the time of the Counter Reformation.
13:26 The challenge, of course, is that with this system
13:28 the Bible isn't necessarily seen as a Christian's
13:32 supreme spiritual authority.
13:33 But emphasizing the Bible
13:36 was what the Reformers had been doing,
13:39 and that had taken a toll on the church's power and authority.
13:43 He studied in Barcelona, and then spent seven years
13:46 as a university student in Paris.
13:49 The Reformation was in full swing by then,
13:51 the effects of the Reformation clearly seen
13:54 as people all around him,
13:56 irrespective of their class in society,
13:58 were taking sides in the controversy.
14:00 And it was while he was at that university
14:04 that he met the six men who would join with him
14:06 in his life's work,
14:08 the work for which the world remembers him,
14:11 work that would impact his church,
14:13 Christianity as a whole, and even the world.
14:17 On the morning of August the 15th, 1534,
14:20 Ignatius Loyola and his six friends
14:23 met together in one of the oldest churches in Paris.
14:26 Together they took vows,
14:28 and formed what would become known as the Society of Jesus.
14:32 It was formally established five years later,
14:35 and one year after that,
14:36 in that memorable meeting with Pope Paul III,
14:39 the highest blessing of the church
14:42 was bestowed upon Ignatius and his friends,
14:45 and their plans to regain ground lost by the papacy
14:48 and blunt the progress of the Reformation.

14:56 He sent his companions throughout Europe
14:58 establishing universities and colleges and seminaries.
15:02 Educate the educators, and you influence what's being taught,
15:06 and what's being thought.
15:08 With the help of his personal secretary,
15:10 he wrote the Jesuit Constitution,
15:13 based on the principle of absolute self-denial
15:16 and complete obedience to the pope.
15:19 They adopted the motto, “perinde ac cadaver,”
15:22 which means “as if a dead body.”
15:25 Part of the oath taken by Jesuits says,
15:27 "I do further promise and declare,
15:30 that I will have no opinion or will of my own,
15:33 or any mental reservation whatever,
15:35 even as a corpse or cadaver,
15:38 but will unhesitatingly obey each and every command
15:41 that I may receive from my superiors
15:43 in the Militia of the Pope and of Jesus Christ."
15:48 >>Dr. Damsteegt: The people who adopt the Special Exercises
15:51 were, had a strong faith in that whatever
15:55 they were being told is the truth.
15:58 If the church would tell me that this is white while it is black,
16:05 I would accept it.
16:07 Very, very simple.
16:09 And if the church says this,
16:12 even if my senses says it is incorrect,
16:16 because the church says it, I will accept it.
16:20 And so it was a total, total mortification of the will.
16:28 That was a fantastic system of brainwashing,
16:32 that you believe without reservation
16:34 that what the church teaches you should be,
16:36 that is the truth and nothing but the truth.

16:40 The Jesuits are still a powerful force
16:41 in the Roman Catholic Church,
16:43 and scores of colleges and universities around the world
16:46 are under their guidance.
16:48 In 2013, Pope Francis became the first Jesuit
16:52 to be elected to his church's highest office.
16:55 The Jesuits were the foot soldiers
16:57 of the Counter Reformation.
17:00 But the papal church was also taking other steps
17:03 to restore its power.
17:05 There was much more to the Counter Reformation.
17:07 At the Council of Trent, held between 1545 and 1563,
17:13 strategies were devised to help the church address
17:17 the challenges presented by the Protestant Reformation.
17:20 Now, any talk of compromise with Protestantism was ruled out.
17:25 But the council did acknowledge that certain abuses
17:27 had occurred at some levels
17:29 under the auspices of the church.
17:32 So there were some changes made.
17:34 For example, certain measures were introduced
17:36 to govern more closely the sale of indulgences.
17:40 But the veto power of church tradition
17:42 above the Bible was maintained,
17:45 as was the role of sacraments
17:46 and other rituals in obtaining salvation and divine grace.
17:50 The apocryphal books, books such as Wisdom, Judith, Tobit,
17:54 those two extra chapters said to be part of the book of Daniel,
17:57 they were granted the same status
18:00 as Scripture by the council.
18:02 The council reaffirmed the veneration of relics and images,
18:06 as well as the veneration of saints.
18:08 And the Council of Trent was responsible
18:12 for some very interesting theological developments,
18:16 developments which today have largely been lost sight of,
18:18 but developments which have impacted
18:21 Christianity in an enormous way.

19:28 “Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ

19:33 Five hundred years ago there was no religious freedom.
19:35 The state and the people were ruled by the Roman church.

20:18 As Protestants appealed to the Bible during the Reformation,
20:22 the authority of the ruling church was undermined.
20:25 Numerous figures claimed that the prophecies of
20:28 Daniel and Revelation and the writings of Paul
20:31 pointed out that the papacy
20:33 was the Antichrist of Bible prophecy.
20:37 So during the Council of Trent,
20:39 the pope commissioned the Jesuits and the others present
20:42 to go to Scripture and find an interpretation
20:45 of those passages that would claim otherwise.
20:49 In the decades that followed the Council of Trent,
20:52 Jesuit theologian Francisco Ribera claimed that
20:55 the papacy couldn't possibly be the Antichrist,
20:58 because the Antichrist would be a single figure
21:00 that would arise at the end of the time.
21:03 Twentieth-century Protestant theologian George Eldon Ladd
21:06 commented on Ribera's work, saying this:
21:10 “In 1590 Ribera published a commentary on the Revelation
21:15 as a counter interpretation to the prevailing view
21:17 among Protestants which identified the Papacy
21:20 with the Antichrist.
21:22 Ribera applied all of Revelation but the earliest chapters
21:26 to the end time rather than to the history of the church.
21:30 Antichrist, he taught, would be a single evil person
21:34 who would be received by the Jews
21:36 and who would rebuild Jerusalem.”
21:39 Another brilliant Jesuit scholar,
21:41 Cardinal Robert Bellarmine of Rome,
21:44 now St. Robert Bellarmine,
21:46 assisted Ribera in developing this new theology.
21:49 Another 20th-century theologian
21:51 had this to say about Bellarmine:
21:54 “The futurist teachings of Ribera were further
21:57 popularized by an Italian cardinal,
21:59 and the most renowned of all Jesuit controversialists.
22:04 His writings claimed that Paul, Daniel, and John
22:08 had nothing whatsoever to say about the Papal power.
22:12 The futurists' school
22:14 won general acceptance among Catholics.
22:17 They were taught that antichrist was a single individual
22:21 who would not rule until the very end of time.”
22:25 >>Dr. Damsteegt: The goal was to eliminate any shadow of a
22:28 doubt that the pope has anything to do with prophecy.
22:33 And so they projected the little horn into the future.
22:37 As a result, they said, “We haven't yet seen it.
22:43 It has not been here.
22:44 It will come one day.
22:46 And so we have still to look in the future
22:49 before we see the antichrist.”
22:50 And still today most Catholics look in the future
22:55 and wait until the appearance of this.
22:58 Futurism was slow to catch on.
23:01 But the intention was that the ideas promoted by futurism
23:05 would eventually be taught by Protestants.
23:09 In the early 1800s,
23:11 a British preacher by the name of John Darby,
23:13 a man who stood strongly for the veracity of scripture
23:16 in face of growing theological liberalism,
23:20 took hold of the idea of a future one-man antichrist.
23:24 In the United States,
23:25 a Kansas City attorney named Cyrus Schofield
23:28 published a version of the Bible popular enough
23:31 to sell millions of copies.
23:33 And in that Bible he included study notes
23:35 based on the writings of Darby and the Jesuits Ribera
23:40 and Bellarmine,
23:41 study notes that pointed to a future one-man antichrist.
23:47 A British theologian commented on that, saying this:
23:50 “It is a matter of deep regret that those who hold and advocate
23:55 the futurist system at the present day,
23:58 Protestants as they are for the most part,
24:00 are thus really playing into the hands of Rome,
24:04 and helping to screen the Papacy from detection
24:07 as the Antichrist.”
24:08 Another Jesuit scholar originated
24:11 the school of prophetic interpretation
24:13 known as preterism.
24:15 “Pre”-terism teaches that all of the apocalyptic prophecies
24:18 of the Bible have been fulfilled already.
24:21 Previously.
24:22 Which would mean, then, that there can't possibly be
24:25 an end-time antichrist.
24:27 And if that's the case, then whoever antichrist is
24:30 couldn't possibly be the papacy.
24:33 Now, the Reformers were convinced.
24:35 But years later, their views have been undermined
24:38 by interpretations of prophecy that sprang directly
24:42 from the Counter Reformation.
24:47 So the work of Ignatius of Loyola
24:48 and the Counter Reformation has been profoundly influential.
24:52 Five hundred years ago reformers like Martin Luther,
24:55 Ulrich Zwingli, John Calvin and John Knox were engaged
24:59 in a resistance movement against a powerful church
25:02 with enormous political influence.
25:05 They rebutted teachings they saw as unbiblical
25:08 and believed that they were doing the work of God
25:11 in bringing the light of the Bible into the lives of people.
25:15 That's why there was such an emphasis on the part of people
25:17 such as William Tyndale and Martin Luther
25:20 to translate the Bible.
25:22 They saw it as vital to get the word of God
25:24 into people's hands and drive back the darkness
25:28 that had flooded into Christianity
25:30 under the watch of a church that had compromised.
25:34 The Reformers championed the teaching of justification
25:37 by grace alone,
25:38 through faith alone, in Christ alone.
25:41 But the church made itself essential
25:44 in the plan of salvation,
25:46 declaring that the sacraments were channels
25:49 of the grace of God.
25:51 That idea was unbiblical in Jesus' day,
25:53 unbiblical in the Reformers' day,
25:56 and it's unbiblical today.
25:58 The idea that human beings should confess their sins
26:01 to another human being and receive forgiveness
26:03 from that human being,
26:04 or even from God through that human being,
26:07 is the sort of idea that the Reformers
26:09 fought against strenuously,
26:11 and something that the Counter Reformation fought to defend.
26:15 Martin Luther, while he was still a priest,
26:18 was scandalized by the way the church sold indulgences.
26:22 Essentially, pardon for sin was bought and sold.
26:28 Sacramentalism was denounced as being unbiblical.
26:31 The same for transubstantiation and celibacy,
26:35 and the papacy itself.
26:37 The abuses carried out by church leaders
26:39 couldn't be tolerated any longer,
26:41 and the Reformers stood up to say so,
26:44 often paying with their lives.
26:47 So two things are clear.
26:48 Number one, the Reformation brought
26:50 about a lot of much-needed change.
26:53 And number two,
26:54 500 years later it could be said
26:56 that the Reformation didn't change much.
27:01 And that raises a lot of questions.
