Hugo Rahner - Ignatius of Loyola

Ignatius of Loyola

Hugo Rahner together with Otto Karrer contributed with several works to a revised view of the historical Ignatius of Loyola. He described him as theologian, his letters to women and his various stages of development, applying a historically critical methods to existing documents rather than hagiography. In this sense he is considered as a modern turning point in research on Ignatius.

Famous quotes by ignatius of loyola:

    The enemy is like a woman, weak in face of opposition, but correspondingly strong when not opposed. In a quarrel with a man, it is natural for a woman to lose heart and run away when he faces up to her; on the other hand, if the man begins to be afraid and to give ground, her rage, vindictiveness and fury overflow and know no limit.
    —St. Ignatius Of Loyola (1491–1556)

    Let me look at the foulness and ugliness of my body. Let me see myself as an ulcerous sore running with every horrible and disgusting poison.
    —St. Ignatius Of Loyola (1491–1556)
