== Theological teachings of the Exercises ==
=== Some historically contextual aspects of the Exercises ===
The teachings conveyed via the exercises appear to reflect the prominent Catholic views of the 1500's, during which time they were written. Such teachings include support for the [[Crusades]], prayers for the intercession of [[Blessed Virgin Mary|Mary]], unquestioning and absolute obedience to one's religious superiors, and an implied antagonism towards [[Islam]]. (One of the exercises describes the physical ___location of all evil in the world to be located "in the region of [[Babylon]]", while the physical seat of all goodness is located "in the region of [[Jerusalem]]".)
