13. Founded in 1534, the Society of Jesus or the
Jesuits, formed the backbone of the Catholic
or Counter Reformation. The Jesuits combined
the ideas of traditional monastic discipline
with a dedication to teaching and preaching.
Why they did this is pretty clear -- they wanted
to win back converts. As a brotherhood or
society, the Jesuits sought to bypass local
corruption and appealed to the papacy to
leading international movement -- they would
not attach themselves to local bishops or local
authorities. The purpose of this international
movement was to revive a Catholic or universal
Christianity.

14. What can we learn from
The legend of Korra –Book 2?

15. "Everything Unalaq taught me was to
help himself. Everything you've done
was meant to help me."
The Church must be faithful to the Magisterium (Official
teachings of the Church but must
Be renewed to be faithful to its mission and be a living witness
Of Christ love…Who came not to be served but to serve.
