Abstract

This survey refutes Carl Schmitt’s thesis that hold catholicism, and jesuitism in particular, as a great complexio oppositorum which joins both conservatism and leftism under a same absolute unity represented by the papal forms. The “ethos” of obedience postulated by the Society of Jesus decisively contributed to the formation of an Administration that surpasses the ecclesiastic burocracy’s framework. It replaced the Renaissance education for an education with a Thomist stamp, decisive in the fashioning of the disciplined “ethos” of the official who acts sine ira et studio . But it failed for its attempt to replace the vitality, the naturalism and the confrontation of opinions of Liberalism under the aforementioned complexio oppositorum.

Summary

La organización burocrática de un ejército de tropas ligeras

Si partimos de una escisión meridiana entre los cometidos mundanos del catolicismo y del protestantismo, la Compañía de Jesús ha tenido un papel decisivo en la delimitación de esta separación de religiones desde el Concilio de Trento (1545-1563). La vida de San Ignacio de Loyola (1587) y el Tratado de la Religión y Virtudes que debe tener el príncipe cristiano para gobernar y conservar sus Estados contra lo que Nicolás Maquiavelo y los políticos de este tiempo enseñan (1595), de Pedro de Ribadeneira[18], contribuyen decisivamente al establecimiento de las dos tipologías sociales del funcionario y el político en el mundo católico. El primer tratado es menos un panegírico del santo que una defensa de los tres votos de la Compañía de Jesús: pobreza, castidad y obediencia. Obras escogidas del Padre de Ribadeneira de la Compañía de Jesús con una noticia de su vida y juicio crítico de sus escritos por Don Vicente de la Fuente, Madrid, Atlas,1952, pp. La obediencia es un camino privilegiado para lograr la muerte, la anulación de la voluntad y el dominio auténtico del Señor
