The correct answer is They sent missionaries to faraway lands.
The Jesuits had a fundamental role in the so-called Counter-Reformation resulting from the Council of Trent, which was promoted by Pope Paul III, whose appointment was in 1534. The election of the Pope was not sponsored by the Jesuits, but the Jesuits took power in a time after this date.
Sponsored by the Spanish Crown in its golden age, when they expanded their power over the American continent, and tried to colonize Asian countries with not much success, the Jesuits sent many missionaries to various countries thus expanding the Catholic faith in the conquered countries .
The Jesuits gave importance to the creation of schools and universities in which they gave importance to the study of humanities and also of sciences and arts but always with an essential focus on the evangelization and expansion of Catholicism.
