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: The Society of Jesus, commonly known as the Jesuits was founded by Ignatius Loyola in 1540. This book explores what we can learn from the historical and contemporary experience of the Society of Jesus - what do the Jesuits tell us about globalization and what can globalization tell us about the Jesuits?
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. In the United States especially, foreign-born Jesuits built universities and schools, aided Catholic immigrants, and served as missionaries. 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 place the Jesuits at the center of the worldwide clash between Catholics and liberal nationalists, and 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: Morrissey has written a lengthy and detailed life and times biography of Peter Kenney. His book is an important contribution to 19th-century Irish and American religious history.
Catholic theologians have developed the relatively new term “inculturation” to discuss the old problem of adapting the church universal to specific local cultures. Europeans needed a thousand years to inculturate Christianity from its Judaic roots. Africans’ efforts to make the church their own followed a similar process but in less than a century. Until now, there has been no book-length examination of the Catholic church’s pastoral mission in Zimbabwe or of African Christians’ efforts to inculturate the church. Ranging over the century after Jesuit missionaries first settled in what is now Zimbabwe, this enlightening book reveals two simultaneous and intersecting processes: the Africanization of the Catholic Church by African Christians and the discourse of inculturation promulgated by the Church. With great attention to detail, it places the history of African Christianity within the broader context of the history of religion in Africa. This illuminating work will contribute to current debates about the Catholic Church in Zimbabwe and throughout Africa.

Описание: Jesuits and Race examines the role that the Society of Jesus played in shaping Western understandings about race and explores the impact the Order had on the lives and societies of non-European peoples throughout history. Jesuits provide an unusual, if not unique, lens through which to view the topic of race given the global nature of the Society of Jesus and the priests' interest in humanity, salvation, conversion, science, and nature.
Jesuits' global presence in missions, imperial expansion, and education lend insight to the differences in patterns of estrangement and assimilation, as well as enfranchisement and coercion, with people from Africa, Asia, and the Americas. The essays in this collection bring together case studies from around the world as a first step toward a comparative analysis of Jesuit engagement with racialized difference. The authors hone in on labor practices, social structures, and religious agendas at salient moments during the long span of Jesuit history in this fascinating volume.

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.
Описание: In Between Popes, Inquisitors and Princes Jessica Dalton uses extensive, original archival research to provide the first history of a unique and controversial papal privilege that allowed the first Jesuits to absolve heretics in sixteenth-century Italy without involving bishops or inquisitors. Dalton uses the story of this remarkable privilege to reconsider two central aspects of Jesuit history: their role in the Counter-Reformation and their relationship with the papacy. She convincingly argues that, in the aftermath of the Protestant Reformation, the Jesuits were valued collaborators of popes, inquisitors and princes not for their obedience and subservience but rather because they worked with an autonomy and flexibility that allowed them to convert heretics where political barriers and popular hostility hindered inquisitors and prelates.
