Wow, while I knew you and I disagreed theologically, I didn't think you'd be into the conspiracy theory bit too. Come on, do you honestly believe that? Why do you swallow hook line and sinker every crazy story about the Jesuits or us Catholics, but when we point to the actual sources and documents of these groups you ignore them. Is it really Christian to bear false witness about what we believe?
Gonna start giving you +1's every time you say the buzzwords...
"I didn't think you'd be into the conspiracy theory bit too."

Does the RCC have a dogma yet on 9-11?
Has Pope wassisface officially said it was done by 12 arabs (of undetermined nationality) with rusty exacto knives? Amazingly how those tiny knives can cut through huge steel core columns.
LOLZ!

I din't say that their main purpose in their founding was to counter the Reformation, I said that became their main purpose. They were founded to teach the poor, they were and still are a teaching order. But they are also great missionaries and were sent to areas in the third world where Protestant missionaries also were, and thus they became proficient at combating Protestantism in those areas.
Oh ok you wanna do this?
We'll start with WIKI and see where we take this.
In fulfilling the mission of the Formula of the Institute of the Society, the first Jesuits concentrated on a few key activities. First, they founded schools throughout Europe. Jesuit teachers were rigorously trained in both classical studies and theology, and their schools reflected this. Second, they sent out missionaries across the globe to evangelize those peoples who had not yet heard the Gospel, founding missions in widely diverse regions, such as modern-day Paraguay, Japan, Ontario, and Ethiopia. Finally, they aimed to stop Protestantism from spreading and to preserve communion with Rome and the successor of Peter.

Seems like the first Jeuits aimed to stop protestantism from spreading in order to fulfill the mission of the Formula of the Institute of the Society of Jesus.

The Council of Trent (1545-1563) was where the Roman Catholic Church codified their position against what they perceived as Protestant "heresies" and finally specified in writing positional statements for Catholic doctine on salvation, the sacraments, and the Biblical canon (Papal infallibility wasn't invoked as official church dogma until the First Vatican Council started in 1868 though it had been around for some time).

Now the Jesuits (e.g. Society of Jesus) were approved by Pope Paul III in 1540 by the bull containing the Formula of the Institute. Yes the Society participated in the Counter-Reformation but only AFTER the Council of Trent had concluded and the Roman Catholic Church's position made known. They were not formed for that purpose, though they certainly did engage in it after the conclusion of the Council of Trent.
