‘It stops you cold’: the 272 #enslaved people sold to fund #Georgetown

The descendants of #AnnJoice, separated as part of the sale, are at the center of a vital new work of history and journalism

Oliver Laughland reports on Rachel L. Swarns' book The 272, which focuses on the 272 enslaved people the Jesuits of Maryland and D.C. sold downriver to south Louisiana to fund Georgetown University. As he notes, Swarns forces us to think about what this historical event means by focusing on the history of a single enslaved family, the Mahoneys.

Also just finished reading "Las Brujas y el Inquisidor" "The witches and the Inquisitor" by https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elvira_Roca_Barea

No English translation as far as I can see.

Got lost through a bit, it is a "educational" historical novel, but overall good enough read. It Felt complicated. But hey, the #1600s #spain were complicated. #witches #inquisition #reading #novel #history #france #scotland #britain #italy #netherlands even the #philippines And #japan are mentioned relating to a massacre of #jesuits .

The ceiling of the Gesu in Rome. The way the fresco in the middle bleeds over the arches and statuary is just mind boggling.

#Grateful to have Notre Dame's Church Life Journal run an excerpt from my Father Ed biography (https://orbisbooks.com/products/father-ed-the-life-of-bill-w-s-spiritual-sponsor) on how he began his pastoral outreach to #AlcoholicsAnonymous. It's a story that's never been told before.

@mookie

Sure they closed it off because it was too hot.

We know the TRUTH!

Wake up, sheeple!

They broke through into the secret inner planet, the Urth, that can only be accessed by traversing the giant holes at the North and South poles in special craft designed to utilise the gravity inversion for power.

They were ordered to shut down by the Masons and Jesuits, who didn't want their secrets to be brought into the open!

Jesuits of Canada releases list of 27 members 'credibly' accused of child sex abuse

The Jesuits, a religious order of the Roman Catholic Church, released the list of 27 names today following an audit that began in 2020 that looked at documents going back to the 1950s.

Of the men named, all but three are dead.

On this day in #1624 a decree was issued in #Norway banning #Jesuits and monks from the country on penalty of death. Anyone hiding or supporting Jesuits and monks faced severe punishment.
One can only wonder if they were smuggling fentanyl.

Auguste Comte "le grand pontife" of positivism, in his declining years wrote to the general of the Society of Jesus with a proposal to enter into an alliance with representatives of the "positivist religion" of mankind. Moreover, Comte expresses wonder in a letter to the general that the Jesuits associated their name with the name of such an insignificant person as Jesus, and advises the general to rename the Jesuits in memory of Ignatius Loyola

Jesuits, man. I’ve never known a bad Jesuit. They’re like if men could be nuns. #jesuits

Tot voor kort had de website van de Britse jezuïeten een pagina met de historische complotten waarbij de Sociëteit betrokken zou zijn geweest. Gezien de afkeer van papenvretende WASP-complotgekkies van katholieken en jezuïeten waren dat er nogal wat!
Het was sowieso de enige pagina op hun website die de moeite waard was.

In 2022 heeft een of andere zuurpruim beslist om die pagina te schrappen.

@GottaLaff This is why I'm glad the #Jesuits are running the show. The way #PopeFrancis has promoted #evolution, allowed women who have had an #abortion back into the church, and most importantly, updated the church's criminal code to finally punish #PedophilicPriests is inspirational.

#Catholicism still has a ways to go to make #amends for its crimes in the past, but its #Jesuit leadership's focus on science and #compassion has at least started them down the path toward atonement.

Nicole Winfield notes that the Jesuits yesterday asked any yet-disclosed victims of sexual abuse by Father Marko Rupnik to come forward. She writes,

"He was declared excommunicated in May 2020, but the Vatican’s Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith lifted the excommunication later that month after he repented, an unusually quick turnaround for such a serious violation."

Congratulations to Dr Aceves! As a @RegisUniversity@twitter.com trustee & part of search committee, I can attest to how amazing he is and how lucky we are to have him. He is an amazing role model for Catholics, educators, Hispanics, and everyone else for that matter. #ThisisRegis #Jesuits https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1600948990652338176
