Why role did the Jesuits play in the catholic reformation?

.

Catholic AnswerThe Society of Jesus didn't really have a role at the Council of Trent, they were just getting organized as a religious order and they were concentrating on preaching and missionary work - and recruiting and training new Jesuits. The Council of Trent was composed of Bishops of the Church, at the beginning of the Council I don't think that any Jesuits had been ordained Bishops. The Jesuits primary role was after the Council as they went about putting the decrees of the Council into effect.
