The jesuits trained priests ensuring that qualified people held church positions.

Members of the Society of Jesus are called Jesuits. It constitutes a scholarly religious congregation of the Catholic Church for men founded by Ignatius of Loyola and approved by Pope Paul III.

Jesuits work in education since they founded schools, colleges, universities and seminaries, intellectual research, as well as cultural pursuits. Moreover, Jesuits provide retreats, minister in hospitals and parishes, and boost social justice by the use of the word of the Roman Catholic Church.

The Society of Jesus provides training for priests, which would ensure that only the qualified people can handle church positions.
