REASONS FOR THE RESTORATION OF THE SOCIETY OF JESUS AND HOW THE SOCIETY OF JESUS PRESERVED AND DEVELOPED ITS IGNATIAN HERITAGE

 Introduction:

                        Pedro Arrupe said, “Nothing is more practical than finding God, than falling in Love in a quite absolute, final way. What you are in love with, what seizes your imagination, will affect everything. It will decide what will get you out of bed in the morning, what you do with your evenings, how you spend your weekends, what you read, whom you know, what breaks your heart, and what amazes you with joy and gratitude. Fall in Love, stay in love, and it will decide everything.” When we think about Restoration of The Society of Jesus one thing is certain our founding fathers and our earlier companions have a tremendous love to the Society of Jesus. The intimate love gave our early companions strength to ‘go against all odds’. The year 2014 is an important year in the history of the Society of Jesus because the Jesuits all over the world celebrate the 200^th anniversary of the Restoration of the Society of Jesus. People might ask why we have to look back at the past? Are we living in the past glory? What lessons we have to learn from the history? Our General Fr Adolfo Nicolas in his letter dated on 14 November 2013 called every Jesuits to look back the past with a desire to learn from our history and as an occasion for spiritual and apostolic renewal. General Congregation 35, Decree 1 writes, “Memory and identity are profoundly linked: one who forgets his past does not know who he is. The better we remember our history and the more deeply we understand it, the better we will understand ourselves and our identity as an apostolic body in the Church. We wish to understand and appreciate our past better so that we may go forward into the future with renewed fervor and zeal for our life and mission today”[1].  In this context it is important to study the past and the various factors that led to the restoration of the Society of Jesus so that we deepen our understanding about the Society of Jesus, we deepen our love and become more fervent in serving Christ under the banner of the cross.       

                        An old saying goes, “Life is not a bed of roses.” This saying is quite true in the history of the Society of Jesus. Ignatius started the Society of Jesus after much difficulties and problems. Then its members, the Jesuits experienced the Easter season when the Society was well accepted and appreciated by the people in Europe and elsewhere. The glorious moment did not remain for long. Power, position, and wealth of powerful kings and others destroy the image of the Society of Jesus which led to its suppression in 1773. During suppression the Society lost everything except in Russia under the protection of Catherine the Great. Many Jesuits join other congregations or dioceses while others live in exile or discontinued as priest. It was a time of chaos and confusion in the lives of many Jesuits then. Some of the Jesuits like Saint Joseph Mary Pignatelli, S.J preserved and was faithful to the Ignatian Heritage in a vastly changed world. This paper is dividing into two parts in the first part, the various factors that led to the restoration of the Society of Jesus is shown. The second part attempts to show how the Society of Jesus preserved and developed its Ignatian Heritage. “The commemoration of the second centenary of the Restoration offers us an occasion to ask ourselves how the Society can again restore itself today. Blessed Cardinal Newman said, “To live is to change and to have lived long in to have changed often.” The restored Society of 1814 was not the same as the Society of 1773. The Society of today has to look to the future than to the past. Of course we have to get back to our roots if we want to keep our deeper identity. At the same time, we have to adapt ourselves to a fast changing world, if we wish to be relevant. In this sense, life is an ongoing moment of restoration that is also an adaptation”[2].

Reasons for the Restoration of the Society of Jesus:

The Suppression is the most difficult part of the history of the Society. No one could ever imagine that Jesuits who enjoyed very high favor among Catholic peoples, kings, prelates, and popes for two centuries and a half were now considered as enemies to the church, banished into exile and lived like beggars in the streets. Imagine the Society of Jesus emerging from the rubble of the French Revolution’s teeth and the disintegrating Bourbon Empire! The Society of Jesus was fully restored by Pope Pius VII, on August 7, 1814. It is said that from the first moment of the Society’s suppression, there were voices demanding its restoration. Cardinal Ercole Consalvi, for example, one of the most perceptive, clear minded and practical churchmen, who appreciated what the Jesuit role, could be in those times said, “If  I were master, I would re-establish them tomorrow.” Fr B.V.Bangert mentions three important factors that hastened Society’s restoration: collapse of the Bourbon united front; gradual and prudent shift of Pope Pius VI from the stringent sanction to a clearly enunciated desire to Society’s restoration; and clear determination of Pope Pius VII to realize his immediate predecessor’s desire.

The suppression of the Society of Jesus is the result of pressure by the royal courts of Portugal, France and Spain. With remorse heart Pope Clement XIV suppressed the Society of Jesus which lasted for 41 years, until the Society’s restoration on August 7, 1814. The restoration of the Society of Jesus is also a move by political leaders and hard works of the Jesuits themselves. The main political factor that influenced the restoration was the French Revolution. The sacredness of Kings was ignored. The Bourbons were overthrown. Liberty, Equality, Fraternity; the Rights of Man; combined to change Europe and to give power to the people. In this new world, the Bourbons were the first to call for the return of the Jesuits-in Parma (where the suppression had been particularly cruel), and in Sicily (Irish novices go to Sicily).

On August 7, 1814 Pope Pius VII Went with much pomp to the Gesu, offered Mass at the altar of St Ignatius, and read out to the public assembled there the bull Sollicitudo omnium ecclesiarum. The bull began like this:

With one voice the Catholic world demands the re-establishment of the Company of Jesus.

We would believe ourselves guilty before God of great error if, among these great dangers to

 the Christian Republic, we neglected the help granted us by God’s special providence, and if,

placed in Peter’s boat, rocked and assailed by continual storms, we refused to make  use of

vigorous and tested branches which offer themselves spontaneously to break the force of a sea

that threatens us at every moment with shipwreck and death. Resolved by so many and such

powerful motives, we have decided to do today what we would have wished to do at the

beginning of our Pontificate….

With this proclamation the Society of Jesus was no more ostracized, but restored to its rights and privileges. The Jesuits have celebrated several triumphs. But in extent and importance, few have matched this one. The resurrection of the Company was hailed everywhere. On the part of Pius VII, it was a bold stand that he took against his predecessor Clement XIV. On the sidelines, Fr. Echaniz mentions, “A few days later, almost incognito, Charles IV (of Spain, whose father had been the one who relentlessly stood by the abolition and vetoed the Society’s restoration), visited the Gesu and the Spanish Jesuits resident in Rome gathered to greet him. He saw himself face to face with the men he had persecuted. He found that the feared and hated Jesuits were harmless over-grown children who kept no grudge. Tears came to his eyes several times”.[3]

Restoration was not an end of struggle for the Jesuits. Political revolution that is happening in different countries during those years brought uncertainty to the restored Society. During the revolution we see that there is hostility to religion and the killing of some religious. Britain becomes a haven for Catholic refugees and a supporter of the Pope when he was taken prisoner by Napoleon. The Jesuits had no fund to even support their newly form communities. They were forced to seek support from the very Bourbons who had destroyed them and from kings who have supported them for the restoration. Though the Society of Jesus was restored we still see that there are some people who are still not in favour of Jesuits. For example, Louis XVIII of France commented: ‘Let the fathers resume neither the name nor the habit of the Company; let them go noiselessly about their affairs and they have nothing to fear’. They were to act like lay Catholics in Public and have to work hard for their daily bread. The Jesuits of the restored Society, like the Bourbons, sought to reproduce the social order of pre-Revolutionary Europe. At the Restoration in Europe, the Society was made up of young men and old. Then in 1820, the 358 Jesuits in Russia were expelled and they become a powerfully influential force in the restored Society. They had never experienced the French Revolution with its Rights of Man and they followed a structured almost monastic style of life which they presented as the true way of the Society.

   The way Society of Jesus Preserved and developed its Ignatian Heritage:

         The suppression of the Society of Jesus in 1773 was not only a tragedy for the Jesuits but people too had to undergo so much of difficulties. The physical needs of the people which the Jesuits were providing through education, charity, and medicine no longer exist. But the most important thing was the spiritual need of the people. People longed for the Ignatian spiritual exercises and to meet their Jesuit councilors or spiritual fathers who are now in exile. The restoration of the Society inaugurated an attempt on the part of some government leaders to recreate a pre-revolutionary world and pushed the Jesuits into a way of proceeding contrary to their own way of proceeding. Yet in spite of the seismic changes brought by the French revolution and the subsequent changes caused by this revolution, the Jesuit Spirituality continued in spite of the suppression by means of former Jesuits, religious manuals, and new religious institutes who spread Ignatian spirituality by means of the revitalized or adapted Marian Congregations. Helen Keller said, “When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.”[4] The Jesuits tried their best to open new doors during suppression and after restoration in order to reach the people who are in need of them. The reflections given by General Fr Adolfo Nicolas SJ regarding some lessons we have to learn from the event of restoration could help us to understand the Ignatian spiritual heritage better.

1.      Creative Fidelity:  When I think about this aspect, I feel that Society of Jesus is the work of God. After the suppression the society was able to rise from the ashes. It began once again without any resources. An old saying goes, “Life is not always a bed of roses.” In our lives too there will be hardships and difficulties that will overshadow us but like the suppressed Jesuits we should never lose hope. Instead we should creatively find out ways and means to make our lives beautiful amidst suffering. We have to trust the lord when life seems to be rather absurd.

2.      Love for our Institute: Deriving inspiration from the letter written by Fr. General Jan Roothan, one of the most significant figures of the restored Society, we are called to promote a love for the inner reality of the Society: her institute, her spirit and values, her way of proceeding rooted in the Spiritual Exercises. Jesuits are ‘friends in the Lord’ working for the greater glory or God. Society of Jesus is the mother which provides us an opportunity to serve Christ under the banner of the Cross. Therefore, we ought to love our institute and the work we do. Ultimately serving people is serving God Himself. We need to fall in love with the values and rich Ignatian Heritage like the Spiritual Exercises, Gift of discernment, our way of proceeding, Jesuit Spirituality.

3.      Fraternal Companionship: During the period of Suppression and Restoration we come across an important figure St.Joseph Pignatelli, who during the difficult times of expulsion and homelessness, united, strengthened and encouraged his brothers. Even during the suppression, he maintained communication, friendship, and hope among former companions. This witness of St. Joseph Pignatelli calls us to be truly ‘companions of Jesus’, to take care our brothers during a time of crisis and difficulties. This is the mission given by GC 35 to live “Community as Mission”. As Jesuits we need to be exemplary men who love and care our companions just as how Christ loved and cared His disciples. We need to have the humility to wash each others feet and make our community a home of love.

4.      Universal Mission: Jesuits are known to be men on a move. They are men to ‘set the world on fire’ and enkindle other fires. These reveal the missionary spirit that the restored Jesuits have. By the generalate of Fr.Roothan, of the 5,209 members of the Society, 19% worked outside the Provinces they entered. Many Provinces in Asia, Africa, America and Australia trace their origins to this time of the restored Society. The newly restored Society had a strong sense of universal mission. As Jesuit we need to be men available for any mission anywhere and anytime. We need to be men who are mobile in nature and work to build God’s Kingdom here on earth.

5.      Faith in Providence: When I think about this point of Father General, I am reminded of the begging experience we had in the Novitiate. Begging experience have reminded me about the unconditional love of God to humanity and that God will always be there to provide us what we need. Our forefathers in the Society lived through challenging times: the suppression; the precarious existence of the Society in the Russian empire; localized recognition of the Society until its Universal Restoration in 1814; the fragile and difficult beginnings of the restored Society. In all the circumstances and at all time God’s providential hands are always there with the Jesuits. What we need to learn at this modern juncture is that we need to be patient, endure and persevere in our work of promulgation of faith and justice to people. Like the blind man in front of the temple, like the woman who suffered from hemorrhage and like the centurion whose son was ill at home, we should never lose hope but always just in God’s providential hands.

 

Conclusion:

                        Heraclitus said, “Life is in flux.” Our lives keep moving and we keep changing from time to time. When the Society of Jesus celebrates the 200^th anniversary of its restoration, the times are considerably different from August 7, 1814. Now we are living in a global village, consumerist world and post-modern thinking pattern. Politics, economics and information technology have transformed the very lifestyle and ideology of the people the Society seeks to serve. The Creator God has been replaced by idols that seem to be more dominant: pleasure, power, wealth and prestige. Restoration of the Society of Jesus does not mean that now the Jesuits can live an Easter or resurrected life but there are numerous challenges ahead of them. Jesuits should not be contented but think creatively, in this context the words of Pope Francis “I don’t have all the answers; I don't even have all the questions. I always think of new questions, and there are always new questions coming forward” will enhance Jesuits too keep striving. The commemoration of the restoration of the Society of Jesus is an eye opener for all Jesuits to ‘fight with an undaunted spirit’ of St. Ignatius to bring spiritual transformation in society; to have special ‘option for the poor; to reach out to geographical areas where no one dares to go and help our brothers and sisters who are still living in the shadow of illiteracy, superstition, injustices, violence and persecutions; and to be men who always aim for MAGIS.
