Sadly modern Jesuits no longer follow the architectural standards that could be seen in every main town of Europe in the counter-reformation.
For comparison, a selection of Jesuit Chapels in Ireland.
We fly to Maundy Thursday in Goa. A Jesuit sits on the right.
You guessed it. JESUITS!
And how they say Mass.
Compare How Jesuits pray!
It used to be that Jesuits do what the Pope demands, now they now do what their swami says.
And this is not what the Pope intended when he made St Ignatius the Patron Saint of Retreats.
Nor did St Ignatius who organised the Jesuits on military lines to evangelise the whole world wish them to become peace activists who cannot distinguish Catholicism from other religions.
Of all orders, the Jesuits are the most decadent and in recent years they have certainly had some competition in this department.
Once saw a Jesuit take a call on a mobile while he was concelebrating Mass. The five Jesuits of my family would not recognise the modern order as the same as thta founded by St Ignatius.
