No he wasn't. He was a influentual Catholic leader of the Jesuits.
The Jesuits were responsible for the foundation of Christianity in many foreign lands, the Americas, China, Japan, Africa, etc. The Jesuits, after the Benedictines, really gave a boost to the colleges and universities in Europe after the protestant revolt.
The Huguenots were the French protestants. The Jesuits were formed primarily to combat the protestant heresy. I don't know where you got this idea, but some of the stuff on the web for Huguenots and Jesuits suggest that the two were bitter enemies, and that the Huguenots were responsible in some way for the suppression of the Jesuits. Either way, there is no way that the Jesuits ever combined Catholic beliefs with protestant beliefs - that would give a lie to their whole reason for existing.
Jesuits ARE a Catholic Religious Order founded by St. Ignatius Loyola in the sixteenth century to bring Catholicism to the pagans and protestants and to educate Catholic youth.

I never heard that the Jesuits were "hated". I know that the Jesuits were not welcome in protestant England, and Henry VIII, and his daughter, Elizabeth I, tortured and killed them as fast as they could find them. There was some rivalry in the East between the Franciscan and Dominican Missions, and the Jesuits, but nothing that I know of that amounted to hate. In the 18th century the Jesuits were suppressed by the Holy Father due to political pressure from various nations who were trying to maintain religion as a national interest, while the Jesuits were seen as international.
The Council of Trent spelled out Church teaching in very clear terms, and tightened up Church discipline and clergy education to prevent another disaster like the protestant revolt started by Martin Luther. The Jesuits attempted to preach and reconvert the heretics back to the Church.
The Catholic Counter-Reformation was in response to the Protestant Reformation. Its goal was to reform the Catholic Church from within.
The religious struggles in Europe were the Protestant Reformation and the Catholic Counter-Reformation. It led to the establishment of the Jesuits within Catholicism and of several Protestant denominations, including the Lutheran Church and the Church of England.
