It's pretty aesthetic

What do the letters IHS mean?

>>758452

It's a Christogram. IHS = Jesus

>>758455

Well, more specifically "Iesus Hominum Salvator".

You see, a lot of people tend to criticize the Jesuits nowadays, especially the more conservative parts of the Church, and I do agree with most of the critics, but we must not forget that there were christians among the jesuits who gave their lives to the faith, some of them were the first to convert natives of other nations and their contribution to the spread of the faith in the world is immense. They should only be criticized by their current attempts to 'modernize' the Church.

Thank you. Is this acronym associated with Jesuits or do other Catholics use it as well?

I go to a protestant church, though I've been wondering about finding the right denomination. Anyways, they actually do use IHS.

I'm no Catholic or Protestant, but the bad faith cast on Jesuits from Protestants is pure retardery. There's no nice way of saying it. Those people are exceptionally retarded. They view Jesuits on the level of Freemasons or something. Practically the whole Qanon movement is full of them (I was semi-interested in keeping up to date with that tbh.. until the obsessive anti-Catholicism/Jesuit stuff finally got on my nerves). It's like David Icke-tier thinking at times too.. where Jesuits are hiding Alien Contact from people.

It's the official symbol of the Society of Jesus, but pretty much all Catholics use it. I've even seen some Methodists use it, but change the meaning to "In His Service".

It's good to have a devotion to the Holy Name of Jesus

This. I mean jesuists were the churches finest soldiers against the shit of the world. They fought bravely until the middle of the 20th century. Since that few are the Jesuists faithful to Christ and the society made by St. Ignatious of Loyola. The gay mob winnie the poohed them hard and they did never recover again.

And now everytime you see a "Catholic" priest saying a non Catholic thing you can bet your house and your car that he is a jesuit like the great Fr. James Martin.

Why do Catholics capitalize Random Letters when they type? Answer: because they're larping as early church fathers

>>758445

Why would protestants use it? We don't speak Greek.

>>758890

But IHS is not Greek?
