Product Description

""Black Pope: A History of the Jesuits"" by M.F. Cusack is a comprehensive account of the Society of Jesus, also known as the Jesuits, from its founding by Ignatius of Loyola in the 16th century to the present day. The book delves into the Jesuits' mission to spread Catholicism throughout the world, their role in the Counter-Reformation, their involvement in political intrigue and power struggles, and their impact on education and scholarship.The title ""Black Pope"" refers to the nickname given to the Jesuit Superior General, who is often seen as the most powerful figure in the Catholic Church after the Pope himself. Cusack explores the controversial nature of the Jesuits and their influence on both Catholicism and world events, from their involvement in the colonization of the Americas to their suppression by Pope Clement XIV in the 18th century.The book also covers the Jesuits' contributions to science, art, and literature, as well as their role in the Second Vatican Council and their modern-day efforts in social justice and interfaith dialogue. Overall, ""Black Pope"" provides a fascinating and detailed history of one of the most influential and controversial religious orders in the world.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1896 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
