This was trouble for them- worrying if they did the right thing or not. Title- ignatius of loyola and counter reformation piety. Spiritual exercises were a new way to explore the faith. Ambivalence about the title because hard to find authors like ignatius. Any passage where tempted to say he is writing because or protestants? nope, it would be difficult to say he was doing anything because of human conditions. Not so much influenced by protestant reformation.
