Abstract

Patricia W. Manning In 1623, Philip IV of Spain and his favored advisor, Gaspar de Guzman, the Count-Duke of Olivares, informed Muzio Vitelleschi, Superior General of the Society of Jesus, that the Spanish crown planned to found a royal college at the Jesuit Colegio Imperial in Madrid (Elliott, Count 188). This establishment more firmly allied the Jesuits, long the confessors and educators of the Spanish nobility, with the peninsula's ruling class. Because of this association with absolutist politics, the Society of Jesus has been considered the strict, conservative vanguard of the Counter-Reformation, part of what Jose Antonio Maravall has labeled a "cultura dirigida (guided culture)" at the service of the absolutist monarch.! Laudatory comments by Jesuits, such as Juan de Mariana's praise for the foundation of the Holy Office of the Inquisition by the Spanish monarchs (Juan de Mariana cited in Elliott, Imperial 218), reinforce the Society's support of the monarchy's control structures. At the same time, the Society of Jesus perpetuated its own norms to regulate the conduct of its members.
