St. Ignatius of Loyola & Bartolomé las Casas - Blu-ray

The motto associated with St. Ignatius of Loyola and the order he founded, the Society of Jesus, is Ad maiorem Dei gloriam (To the greater glory of God). His passion to become a courtier, soldier, and advisor to royalty became, under the influence of grace, a passion to serve Christ—all the way, holding nothing back. And this soldier fighting for God's glory altered the world with his founding of the Jesuit order and his masterwork, The Spiritual Exercises.

LAS CASAS:

Bartolomé de las Casas is one of the most powerfully prophetic figures in the history of the Catholic Church. A witness to the terrible destruction of the indigenous peoples of the newly discovered Americas, he became a thorn in the side of the complacent, passionately advocating for human dignity and courageously speaking out against injustice. Las Casas anticipated modern social and political movements by hundreds of years, and vividly reminds us today that a commitment to justice is an essential dimension of Christian discipleship.
