Loyola was crumbled by gunshot wounds that smashed his right leg and left gaping flesh wounds in the left.

 Jesuit Missions St Ignatius Loyola
Ignatius and his nine companions (united as "Friends in the Lord") began a new mode of religious life which was to be radically apostolic independent of the monastic tradition.
In fact, the mystical experiences of Ignatius have radically shaped the life of each and every Jesuit who makes the Spiritual Exercises and who is presented with the challenge of the Jesuit Constitutions;even where such a shaping may carry little by way of a recognisable external form.
Above all, Ignatius' robust defence of the doctrines of the Roman Catholic Church, and the institution of the Papacy in particular, is extraordinary given the abysmal state of the sixteenth-century Christendom.

 Educational Theory of Ignatius Loyola
Ignatius Loyola's mission was to spread the word and teachings of Jesus through his Society of Jesus.
Ignatius Loyola broke from these traditions arguing that prayer could be done anytime, anywhere and was therefore in all things everywhere, hence his society did not keep with the tradition of reciting prayer at specified times (O'Neal).
Loyola did believe in the importance of educating even those who did not intend a life of preaching the faith, [If I were able] "...to persuade one human being from sin for a single night,...I would omit absolutely nothing to ensure that God should not be offended during that time..." (Brodrick 96).

 Fr. Hardon Archives - Saint Ignatius Loyola - Jesuit Saint
Ignatius managed, mainly through many Masses and prayers – his most powerful weapon was to have Masses said – when the Pope was unfriendly and was not approving what Ignatius wanted the Pope to approve, he wouldn't complain, he wouldn't argue, he would order Masses.
Ignatius understood the following of Christ to be not just a quiet, calm, peacefully serene, roses and wild honey – some of that too, but it was a struggle and the conflict, as Paul tells us, is not just with flesh and blood.
Ignatius, being so conscious of the conflict between good and evil in the world, set down some very precise rules which, I trust before we finish with this series (this is just the first conference) we'll see more about how to distinguish between a temptation of the devil and an inspiration of God.

 Ignatius of Loyola and Ideas of Catholic Reform | Vince Ryan | IgnatiusInsight.com
When Ignatius gathered together the small group at the University of Paris who would become the first Jesuits, their concern was not the combating of nascent Protestantism.
As Ignatius explained in the 1539 proposal, their goal was to propagate the Faith, especially wherever the pope desired them, whether he sends us to the Turks or to the New World or to the Lutherans or to others, be they infidel or faithful.
After his death in 1556, Ignatius of Loyola was regularly presented in contrast to Martin Luther, and the Jesuits themselves were the prime culprits for this portrayal.

 St. Ignatius Loyola

In 1547 Father Polaneo became his secretary, and with his intelligent aid the first draft of the constitutions was made between 1547 and 1550, and simultaneously pontifical approbation was asked for a new edition of the "Formula".
It is impossible to sketch in brief Ignatius' grand and complex character: ardent yet restrained, fearless, resolute, simple, prudent, strong, and loving.
