"Will Of The Pope, Will Of God"

On the suppression of the Jesuit, this comes from a great "new" blog called Aufer A Norbis.

.........By the mid-eighteenth century, many had come to despise the Jesuits. Among the anti-Jesuits were the heretical Jansenists and schismatic Gallicans. Even kings began to clamor for the suppression of the Jesuits. Popes such as Clement XIII resisted, but his successor Clement XIV acceded to their wishes in July of 1773. Founder of the Redmptorists,

St. Alphonsus Liguori, an admirer of the Jesuits, is said to have exclaimed, "Volonta' del papa, volonta' di Dio. (Will of the pope, will of God)"

However, saddened by the unjust situation he added, "Opera dei giansenisti (work of the Jansenists)!" Providentially, the non-Catholic monarchs of Russia and Prussia did not permit the promulgation of the decree. Thus, the Jesuits continued to carry on their work even though officially suppressed. Pope Pius VI regularized this situation and allowed for the continuation of the Society in Russia and Poland leading to the election of a Superiror in 1782. Outside of those areas former Jesuits joined other orders or diocese' in their hearts knowing that St. Ignatius' Society would one day be restored. Meanwhile, the Church in the newly independent United States benefitted greatly from the undesireable suppression when former Jesuits Fr. Carroll was made first bishop fo Baltimore and Fr. Kohlman served as administrator of the diocese of New York for its absent bishop.Almost forty years after their "suppression", on August 7, 1814, Pope Pius VII issued the Bull Solicitudo omnium ecclesiarum, restoring the Society universally.
