Description
This text looks at the situation of Jesuits in the world. It traces the changes that have occurred in the Society of Jesus in recent years, examining whether, in adopting their recent struggle for justice for the poor, they have abandoned their traditional claim to political and secular power or simply changed their strategy to reach the same ends by more devious means. The traditional images (elitism, casuistry, power behind the throne) are analyzed and the modern revolutionary stance explored. The book also discusses two Generals, or leaders, of the Society, Arrupe and Kolvenbach.
