The Society of Jesus, the Jesuits, employed the Vatican, Austrian Prince Metternich and his St. Leopold Foundation to infiltrate the United States of America.
Samuel F.B. Morse spent several years in Europe, mostly near Rome, studying the actions and behaviors of the Jesuits, and conferring with dignitaries and others who had intimate knowledge of the Jesuits and their intrigues. Morse quickly realized this valuable information was known only to those outside America's borders, so he sought remedy by compiling his observations into a book that he would soon publish in America under the pseudonym Brutus.
When the Jesuits got wind of his book, they suppressed its publication, but not before Morse was able to get it into the hands of many prominent people of the day. In time, the book went into a second edition.
Adagio Press has revamped Mr. Morse's original book, with light editing, a new layout and design, plus a new cover.

Описание: In the past decades historians have interpreted early modern Christian missions not simply as an adjunct to Western imperialism, but a privileged field for cross-cultural encounters. Placing the Jesuit missions into a global phenomenon that emphasizes economic and cultural relations between Europe and the East, this book analyzes the possibilities and limitations of the religious conversion in the Micronesian islands of Guahan (or Guam) and the Northern Marianas. Frontiers are not rigid spatial lines separating culturally different groups of people, but rather active agents in the transformation of cultures. By bringing this local dimension to the fore, the book adheres to a process of missionary “glocalization” which allowed Chamorros to enter the international community as members of Spain’s regional empire and the global communion of the Roman Catholic Church.
Описание: How did gender shape the expanding Jesuit enterprise in the early modern world? What did it take to become a missionary man? And how did missionary masculinity align itself with the European colonial project? This book highlights the central importance of male affective ties and masculine mimesis in the formation of the Jesuit missions, as well as the significance of patriarchal dynamics. Focusing on previously neglected German actors, Strasser shows how stories of exemplary male behavior circulated across national boundaries, directing the hearts and feet of men throughout Europe toward Jesuit missions in faraway lands. The sixteenth-century Iberian exemplars of Ignatius of Loyola and Francis Xavier, disseminated in print and visual media, inspired late-seventeenth-century Jesuits from German-speaking lands to bring Catholicism and European gender norms to the Spanish-controlled Pacific. The age of global missions hinged on the reproduction of missionary manhood in print and real life.

How American Jesuits helped forge modern Catholicism around the world
At the start of the nineteenth century, the Jesuits seemed fated for oblivion. Dissolved as a religious order in 1773 by one pope, they were restored in 1814 by another, but with only six hundred aged members. Yet a century later, the Jesuits numbered seventeen thousand men and were at the vanguard of the Catholic Church's expansion around the world. This book traces this nineteenth-century resurgence, showing how Jesuits nurtured a Catholic modernity through a disciplined counterculture of parishes, schools, and associations. Drawing on archival materials from three continents, American Jesuits and the World tracks Jesuits who left Europe for America and Jesuits who left the United States for missionary ventures across the Pacific. Each chapter tells the story of a revealing or controversial event, including the tarring and feathering of an exiled Swiss Jesuit in Maine, the efforts of French Jesuits in Louisiana to obtain Vatican approval of a miraculous healing, and the educational efforts of American Jesuits in Manila. These stories reveal how the Jesuits not only revived their own order but made modern Catholicism more global. The result is a major contribution to modern global history and an invaluable examination of the meaning of religious liberty in a pluralistic age.

Описание:
"Father Connor teaches that gratitude is the foundation of all else in Christian life. This book is an occasion for gratitude," Nita Crowley writes in her foreword to this inspiring and readable collection.
The book blends reflections on one Jesuit's life--and the life of the Society of Jesus--with lucid commentaries on urgent topics. Part I is a memoir. Among many other remembrances, Father Connor recalls the upheavals of the 1960s that unexpectedly tossed him into the role of Maryland Jesuit provincial, at age 39, along with his dramatic first encounter with the beloved Jesuit Superior General Pedro Arrupe. "I knew at that moment that I would walk on burning coals for that man," he says of the hopefully future saint.
Part II is a broad sampling of Father Connor's homilies. He ushers us through the liturgical year, with down-to-earth reflections that have retained their freshness. They're presented under titles such as "Jesus the Partygoer: At a Wedding, in Cana," "The Craziness of Pentecost: Giving Away Love, Peace, and Freedom--Free of Charge," and "When Peter and Jesus Had Words: 'You Satan '"
Parts III and IV focus on "Mission" and "Leadership," respectively. Father Connor ranges over topics like the nature of a Jesuit liberal arts education, the product of which "is not a degree, but a person." He writes about people including six of his friends--the martyred Jesuits in El Salvador. "What I remember most were the bullet-pocked walls in the living room of their residence. There had been any number of drive-by machine gun shootings," he recounts.
In the end, the reader "comes away encouraged that today's chaos will not prevail," writes Dolores Leckey.
