Katolická liga (někdy také Svatá liga či Svatá unie, francouzsky Sainte Ligue, Ligue catholique) byla aliance francouzské katolické šlechty, která usilovala o potlačení či vyhlazení hugenotů a jednou ze stran v hugenotských válkách. Jejím zakladatelem a až do svého zavraždění vůdčí postavou byl Jindřich I. de Guise.

Ihs-logo.svg
Monochrome version of the IHS emblem of the Jesuits.

The design of the emblem is attributed to Ignatius of Loyola (1541).

  • the cross is here drawn as formy fitchy; this is not necessarily part of the design, early modern depictions sometimes show a plain cross, or various baroque ornamentations
  • the three nails are sometimes shown as piercing a heart
  • the alternating straight and wavy rays are found in historical specimens, but not necessarily, and sometimes with two or three straight rays separating wavy rays.
  • the number of rays is often 32 as here, but sometimes also 12, 16 or 24.
  • the emblem is sometimes surrounded by the inscription et vocatum est nomen eius Iesus (Luke 2:21)
