" In Nijmegen schools, a hospital and a street are named after him. "
" In Vienna, a street (Canisiusgasse) is named after him. "
" In the Buffalo, New York, United States, there is a Jesuit college and prep school named after him. "

Did he die?no he is still alive

Sad; such an important historical figure, and such a poorly written entry! There is so much sound historical scholarship on the early years of the Jesuit Order and its proponents, and yet what is used here and quoted from is mostly (catholic) encyclopedic articles and equally catholic apologetic literature—the outside perspective is entirely missing.
