| Jesuit Cardinal Jean Daniélou |
Perhaps in the tradition of Jesuits such as Robert Bellarmine and Augustine Bea, Jean Daniélou was expressly made bishop and cardinal in 1969
by the Pope. Not surprisingly, a flood of protest pamphlets descended
from the clerestory and marred the Mass of ordination. The battle was
engaged. Newspapers carried the photo of the “indoor snowfall” in the
sanctuary of the church where the ordination took place. Friends of
Daniélou reported that same year, 1969, that he had refused these
ecclesiastical awards. However, Pope Paul VI had personally ordered him
under obedience to accept being made bishop and cardinal “so that you
might suffer with me for the Church.” The son of Saint Ignatius of
Loyola, Jean Daniélou, might have added, “If this be the case, then
together we will proceed, both of us to suffer for Christ.”
