Chapter 1 87“ ‘The power of the General shall be so unlimited that should he deem itnecessary for the honour of God, he shall even be able to send back, orin other directions, those who have come direct from the Popes.’ ” {8}Ignatius Loyola, 1540Founder, 1 st Jesuit General, 1540-1556ConstitutionsFurther,“But not only is all friendly communication forbidden to the Jesuit buthe is also placed under constant espionage. He is never permitted towalk about alone, but, whether in the house or out of doors, is alwaysaccompanied by two of his brethren — ‘Except the General orderotherwise for the greater glory of God [the Pope], and the benefit of theSociety.’ . . .Thus, no one but the General can exercise the right of uttering a singleoriginal thought or opinion. It is almost impossible to conceive thepower, especially in former times, of a General having at his absolutedisposal such an amount of intelligences, wills, and energies.” {9}“ . . . the merit of framing the Constitution which was to govern itbelongs solely to Ignatius himself. He alone among them all wascapable of such a conception. He alone could have devised a scheme bywhich one free rational being is converted into a mere automaton —acting, speaking, even thinking, according to the expressed will ofanother. There is no record in history, of any man, be he king, emperor,or pope, exercising such absolute and irresponsible power over hisfellow-men as does the General of the Jesuits over his disciples . . .Thus, the General knowing the past and present life, the thoughts, thedesires of every one belonging to the Society, it is easy to understandhow he is enabled always to select the fittest person for every specialservice.” {10} G.
