The Black Pope and the White Pope: The Jesuits and the Papacy Other events...
A public lecture by Dr Thomas Scirghi, SJ, 2013 St Thomas More College Chair of Jesuit Studies.

Francis I is the first Jesuit pope in the history of the Catholic Church. Sometimes called the “Pope’s marines,” the Jesuits – formally known as the Society of Jesus – take a special vow of obedience to the Pope. The Superior General of the Jesuits, clad in a black cassock, has been named “the Black Pope.” Yet the Jesuits promise to refrain from aspiring to hierarchical positions of authority. With the election of Pope Francis many are asking, “What is a Jesuit?” and “What may we expect from a Jesuit pope?”
