  • Resisting National Sentiment: Friction Between Irish and English Jesuits in the Old Society
    journal of jesuit studies 6 (2019) 598-626 brill.com/jjs Resisting National Sentiment: Friction between Irish and English Jesuits in the Old Society Thomas M. McCoog, S.J. Loyola University Maryland [email protected] Abstract Pedro de Ribadeneyra, first official biographer of Ignatius of Loyola, showered praise upon him and his companions for abandoning immoderate sentiment “for particular lands or places” in their quest for “the glory of God and the salvation of their neigh- bors.” Superior General Goswin Nickel praised a Society conceived in Spain, born in France, approved in Italy, and propagated in Germany and elsewhere. Out of diversity Ignatius had forged unity. Ribadeneyra prayed that nothing would ever threaten this union. His prayers were not heard: the Society’s internal unity was often endangered by national sentiment despite congregational attempts to curtail and eliminate it. This article does not purport to be an exhaustive study of localism versus international- ism—although such a study is needed—but an investigation of relations between Irish and English Jesuits principally in the seventeenth century. Individual Jesuits did in fact cooperate, but there were limits. A proposal in 1652 that the independent Irish mission become part of the English mission was that limit. Keywords Irish Jesuits – English Jesuits – John Young – national sentiment – Muzio Vitelleschi – Gian Paolo Oliva – general congregations 1 Introduction: the Internationalism of the Society of Jesus In the spring of 1539, Ignatius of Loyola (c.1491–1556; in office, 1541–56) and his companions deliberated their future.

This international conference aims to shed new light on neglected aspects of this vital subject. The 1773 suppression of the Jesuits, and the various national expulsions and banishments that preceded it, sought to destroy the Society as a corporate entity. This did not spell the end of the Jesuit enterprise, however. Persecuted by the Catholic monarchies of Portugal, Spain, and France, the Jesuits survived in various guises and locales across the globe. We focus on three of these and the links between them but we also look at the parallel contexts in other parts of Asia, South and North America, and central and western Europe. The eastern part of the Commonwealth of Poland-Lithuania, known as Belarus or White Russia, was occupied by Catherine the Great just before the papal suppression of the Order. She rejected the ratification of the papal brief of suppression in her territories. Local Jesuits not only continued to influence the region’s religious history but also expanded their influence beyond the safe haven of the Russian Empire. One of the most striking examples was their enterprise in China. From their intellectual center in Połock—dubbed the Athens of Belarus—they attempted to re-approach China through their easternmost station in Irkutsk, Siberia and their community in St.

  • Jesuit Conspirators and Russia's East Asian Fur Trade, 1791–1807
    journal of jesuit studies 2 (2015) 56-76 brill.com/jjs Jesuit Conspirators and Russia’s East Asian Fur Trade, 1791–1807 Gregory Afinogenov Harvard University [email protected] Abstract In 1791, amidst growing anxiety about British encroachment on its fur trade with the Qing Empire, the Russian government discovered that Britain was sending a large and important embassy to Beijing, led by Lord Macartney. In an attempt to derail the nego- tiations, Russia enrolled the Polotsk Jesuits in a plot to convince the Qing of the nefari- ousness of British designs. The conspiracy was not a success, despite Macartney’s failure. The Jesuits both in Belarus and Beijing continued to play a central role in Russia’s geopolitical plans in the region for the next decade and a half, although ulti- mately the project to establish a Russian Jesuit college in the Qing capital failed. Using Russian as well as Jesuit archival sources, the article reconstructs the secret plans, mis- haps, and miscalculations that shaped this unusual relationship. Keywords Jesuits in China – Jesuits in Russia – maritime fur trade – Russo-Chinese relations – Jesuit survival – Jesuit restoration – Pacific history – Catherine II – Alexander I – Russo-British relations Northeast Asia in the Eighteenth Century Jesuits have often been accused of being puppet masters. In the eighteenth century, they were held responsible for everything from religious obscurantism in France to enlightened sedition in Spain; in the nineteenth, they would join the Freemasons at the heart of the most fashionable conspiracy theories of their day. Here I will tell a different story.

  • SPIRIT THROUGH TIME a History of the Spirituality of the Society of Jesus José García De Castro Valdés SJ Universidad Pontificia Comillas, Madrid (Spain)
    SPIRIT THROUGH TIME A History of the Spirituality of the Society of Jesus José García de Castro Valdés SJ Universidad Pontificia Comillas, Madrid (Spain) When the Society of Jesus was founded by Pope Paul III1, a new trend in spirituality arose inside the Catholic Church. Even though the followers and the first companions of Ignatius of Loyola were never known or never called “Ignatians”2, this new spirituality is nowadays recognized as “Ignatian Spirituality”, that is, a new path, a new method to search for God proposed by Ignatius and his first Companions3 and mainly fixed in the text of the Spiritual Exercises and the Constitutions of the Society of Jesus. In order to understand the origins and development of this spirituality, and how this movement of the Holy Spirit has reached us, we will try to follow the historical development of the Society of Jesus. It is a long period of 475 years full of life, including a wide variety of experiences all around the world and in many different fields of human culture. The more we approach the history of the Society of Jesus, the more we realize how wide and deep the contribution of the Jesuits was to build the history and culture of Western tradition. Because of the new features of this new congregation founded by Ignatius and his companions, the Jesuits could move around the world and were allowed to preach the Gospel through many different means, which they called “ministries”4. They did not adopt a single specific work (healing, education, preaching…) as their charismatic mission.

A synthetic analysis of the complex issue of official educa- SłowA kluCzowe: tional activities provided by the Catholic Order in the Orthodox Rus- jezuici, Rosja, Petersburg, szkolnic- sian Empire is based on a comparative analysis of the existing subject two, kolegium, car literature and the author’s archival research, the results of which have Paweł I been published in the papers referred to in the article. The first part explains the circumstances that led to the appearance of the Jesuits in Russia and discusses the reasons that allowed these subjects of the Tsar to maintain relative autonomy in managing their Order, ensure its development, and pursue their own goals. The functioning of Jesuit schools in Russia is also discussed in this context. The second part fo- cuses on close relations between the Jesuits and Tsar Paul I, which had a significant impact on the functioning of the Order. Based on, among others, the fragments of the correspondence found in the Roman Ar- chive, the author describes the Tsar’s contacts with Father Gruber and analyses their role, significance and results in the political and diplo- matic area connected with the Jesuits’ activity in Russia.

  • Chapter Four the Jesuit Heritage in Eastern Massachusetts
    CHAPTER FOUR THE JESUIT HERITAGE IN EASTERN MASSACHUSETTS Eastern Massachusetts embraces a population of more than five and a half million people in the counties of Essex, Middle­ sex, Norfolk, Plymouth (except for the towns of Mattapoisett, Marion and Wareham) and Suffolk. Slightly more than two million of these people are Catholics of the see of Boston which goes back to 8 April 1808 and which became an archdiocese on 12 February 1875. This chapter will explore the relationship of the Society of Jesus to the development of Catholicism in this section of the Bay State in the early period of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries when the Jesuits were outlawed, in the modern period of the nineteenth century when the Jesuits were accepted, and in the contemporary period of the twentieth century when the Jesuits have proven to be a vital element in the religious and cultural life of eastern Massachusetts. I In the study of the early relationship of the Jesuits to eastern Massachusetts, Plymouth, founded in 1620, Salem, founded in 1626, and Boston, founded in 1630, are important. While each of these settlements had its own governor, all of them were one in their attitude towards the Jesuits. This is illustrated by John Winthrop, founder of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, who declared that a major reason for sailing to New England was "to rayse a bulwarke against the kingdom of Antichrist which the Jesuits labour to reare vp in all places of the worlde." And, since the charter of Massachusetts incorpor­ ated oaths of supremacy and allegiance with their anti-Jesuit overtones, it is clear that the founding of the Bay State was at least partially prejudiced against the Jesuits.

Beckett, S J. WEILL LIBRARY 0EC18 BOSTON COLLEGE 28/5 • NOVEMBER 1996 THE SEMINAR ON JESUIT SPIRITUALITY A group of Jesuits appointed from their provinces in the United States. The Seminar studies topics pertaining to the spiritual doctrine and practice of Jesuits, especially American Jesuits, and communicates the results to the members of the provinces. This is done in the spirit of Vatican II's recom- mendation that religious institutes recapture the original inspiration of their founders and adapt it to the circumstances of modern times. The Seminar wel- comes reactions or comments in regard to the material that it publishes. The Seminar focuses its direct attention on the life and work of the Jesuits of the United States. The issues treated may be common also to Jesuits of other regions, to other priests, religious, and laity, to both men and women. Hence, the studies, while meant especially for American Jesuits, are not exclu- sively for them. Others who may find them helpful are cordially welcome to read them. CURRENT MEMBERS OF THE SEMINAR Peter D. Byrne, S.J., is presently engaged in a sabbatical program after serving as rector and president of St. Michael's Institute in Spokane, Wash. (1994). Francis X. Clooney, S.J., teaches comparative theology at Boston College, Chestnut Hill, Mass.

SERVANT LEADERSHIP: THE DISTINCTIVE VIRTUE OF IGNATIAN EDUCATION SAMUEL BEIRÃO, S.J. BOSTON COLLEGE SCHOOL OF THEOLOGY AND MINISTRY STL THESIS 2018/2019 Acknowledgments Somewhere in God’s dream, when God decided to start creating the world and all that is contained in it, God knew we would meet and make our lives happier through friendship, admiration, and service to one another. In an endless chain of thanksgiving and praise, I see myself in the happiest of lives, called to praise, reverence, and serve God, the Church, and the World in the Society of Jesus. Therefore, there could be no other way to begin than to thank the Brothers with whom I have been walking alongside for the last twelve years. Most recently, to my Brothers from Saint Peter Faber Jesuit Community, especially those living in Xavier House, with whom I shared joys, prayers, and the bumps along the way. They have been the discrete presence and support behind these lines. Between the words, though, there is another presence: that of Professors Cristiano Casalini and Andrea Vicini, S.J., who generously advised, corrected, and supported me through this work. Both have become mentors and scholars I admire and to whom I am most in debt. And if in these following pages there is any agreement between nouns, verbs, and prepositions, and if the English is pleasant to read, I am most grateful to Simon Smith, S.J., and David Romero, S.J., who revised each line of the text.

  • HACIA EL BICENTENARIO DE LA RESTAURACIÓN DE LA COMPAÑÍA DE JESÚS GALERÍA DE GENERALES DE LA COMPAÑÍA DE JESÚS En Su Reci
    HACIA EL BICENTENARIO DE LA RESTAURACIÓN DE LA COMPAÑÍA DE JESÚS GALERÍA DE GENERALES DE LA COMPAÑÍA DE JESÚS En su reciente carta sobre la reorganización de la Curia Generalicia, el P. Nicolás nos recuerda que en 2014 celebraremos el bicentenario de la restauración de la Orden por Pío VII. El P. General nos anima a prepararnos y a refundar nueva y continuamente la Compañía para que responda al mundo de hoy. El P. Socio nos comentaba en nuestra Curia de algunas iniciativas de provincias vecinas para recordar episodios de la Historia de la Compañía en sus Noticias. Como una sencilla contribución, les comparto los siguientes resúmenes de nuestros Generales, que he preparado en años precedentes para las clases con los novicios. La información presentada en estas fichas – seleccionada según mi humilde criterio– puede ser corroborada y ampliada en el Diccionario Histórico SJ -4 volúmenes-, en la Historia de la Compañía de Jesús de W. Bangert, en el Manual de Historia de la Compañía de Villoslada y en numerosas publicaciones que tenemos a la mano en nuestras bibliotecas. Mensualmente irá apareciendo el recuento de un generalato. Comenzamos la serie con el P. Diego Laínez, uno de los primeros padres –los “doctores de París”–. La verdad que no me atrevo a resumir la vida y obra de San Ignacio en una página; además, de nuestro Fundador ya hemos hablado bastante… Cualquier sugerencia será bienvenida. H. David Chamorro, S.J. 1 DIEGO LAÍNEZ (II General) Español. Nació en 1512 en Almazán (Soria). Posiblemente era descendiente de judíos en cuarta generación. Se ordenó sacerdote en 1537, en Venecia.
