Return to a troubled Europe

Iņigo's great desire became to help others see the Lord working in the ordinary events of their own lives.  His work was frequently looked upon with suspicion by the church authorities who saw heresy lurking behind every tree.  For Europe of the time was in the throes of the Reformation.

Iņigo felt that the best way to be allowed to teach in the Church was by studying philosophy and theology and becoming a priest.  So the pilgrim settled down to life as a student.  In Barcelona, at the age of 33, he went back to school and joined classes of boys to learn Latin, the language of the universities.
