| Summary: | The Collegium Germanicum, founded in Rome by Ignatius Loyola in 1552, is often portrayed as an instrument of the Counter-Reformation. While one of the reasons for the founding of this institution was to educate young men who would return to Germany to combat Protestantism, this was not its sole function. This article reassesses the purpose and function of the Collegium Germanicum by placing it within the broader context of Ignatius' overall vision of education. Despite its obvious special mission, the Collegium Germanicum was not merely a training camp for bishops and priests preparing to wage war against the heretics, but in many ways was similar to the other educational institutions of the Society of Jesus. |
