Who Are the Jesuits? (A Protestant Asks)

Thanks to Fr. Matthew Baugh for taking the time to talk about the Jesuit Order.

I've been a catholic my whole life (and went to a Jesuit high school), yet I still learn so much from your videos...and ask many of the same questions! Thank you. 🙂

Fr. Baugh is a good friend and was the priest for our wedding. Excited to listen to this

[michaelhenderson]

This is SUCH a wholesome conversation. It gives me the warm fuzzies. Two modern disciples of Jesus from two different walks of the same faith coming together and learning and uncovering truth from each other.

THIS is what the Church as a whole is supposed to be like! A place where iron sharpens iron ❤ I love this

[ravesp]

This was incredible. Thank you Jesus for blessing us with this conversation.

I was shocked to have seen this in my recommended as Fr. (then Deacon) Baugh was my RCIA instructor at BU's Catholic Center when I entered the Church back in 2019. I haven't spoken to him since then, as he went off to be ordained and I was a college freshman who was (and still is) not good at staying in touch with people. I entered RCIA not sure of Catholicism or Christianity, but genuinely seeking the Truth, and Fr. Baugh played an incredibly profound role in drawing me into the Faith. He was a great deacon and I'm sure he's a great priest, with many wise things to say.

Not very often that you get to see someone that you know in a YouTube thumbnail!

Hi Matt! Thanks for this enlightening interview with Fr. Baugh.

I grew up with Jesuit education.

I would like you the foundation of Jesuit education, which I keep close to my heart.

1. Ad maiorem Dei gloriam (AMDG). It Latin "For the greater glory of God, " in Latin. This is the Jesuit's motto.

2. Magis. It's a Latin expression for "to be more." Jesuit education pushes you to pursue excellence in all aspects of life.

3. Be a man for others. Caring for all our neighbors is ingrained in a graduate's heart.

4. See God in all things. We must see God in all things, including the negative aspects of our life. The first step to seeing God is by having an attitude of gratitude.

God bless!

This is one of the best episodes so far! Keep it up Matt.

This was my first visit to this channel. I grew up Southern Baptist and converted to Catholicism 4 years ago. I am 61 years old. It was the greatest and most spiritually impactful decision of my life.

I enjoyed seeing the insightful dialogue in the video. I may hang out and watch a few more.

[ephramsyr]

Another beautiful interview. Such a sincere and genuine dialogue and both of you were well knowledged. Well done and God bless you!

[MW-hecp]

I love that the mystery of that window is the fasting in the desert. Shows humility and really is at the heart of the spiritual exercises of St Ignatius. It makes sense to me.

[mikesarno]

Matt immediately gets the associated mystery that has stumped the Jesuit order for centuries. Classic! Another example of Matt explaining to us Catholics the life of Christ. God bless you, brother.

[jimlaguardia]

The Jesuits are the best teachers on Earth. I knew these men very well. They are extraordinary.

[julizaprandini]

Thank God for priesthood ❤ as a converted Catholic, im more in love with the church every day

[davidhornbek]

Truly loving Jesus transcends denominational boundaries. This is a glimpse into the unitity awaiting us in heaven. PSALM 133:1B

[tbjpersonal]

OH SMOKES! I've always wanted to know more about these guys! Thanks Matt!

[stephaniejackson]

I'm a protestant who daily listens to Pray as You Go from Jesuits in UK as part of my devotional life. Love this interview, thank you for enlightening me about Jesuit history, beliefs, mission, and practices. Love the unity between brothers here. God bless you both!

[ThoseTwoPriests]

Great conversation, gentlemen! Thank you for your love for the Lord and for each other.

[d_dave]

This was delightful. His enthusiasm is contagious. I may not be Catholic, but I love the Jesuits.

PROTESTANT: are you going to kill me after this interview?
