The success of the Jesuit order founded by Ignatius of Loyola soon covered the field of education as an expression of the reforming spirit of the order. Between the last third of the 16th century and shortly before it was dissolved, the order had taken over secondary education and a large part of university education, especially in the fields of philosophy and grammar. The education received in the Marian Congregations was so important that the degrees obtained were recognised in the universities. In the formative process, however, the religious and moral facets were emphasised, and these took precedence over the academic education itself. It was precisely this spirit that was criticised by the Enlightenment, who pointed out that the aspects relating not to the faith itself, but to those of the order itself, took precedence over the academic aspects.
