JESU7152 · University and Capstone
Morrissey College of Arts & Sciences
This is an online course.St. Ignatius of Loyola (14911556) wrote constitutions a large book consisting of rules, principles, and priorities to govern, unify, and inspire the Society of Jesus as a worldwide corporate body of priests and laymen. Some Jesuit writers have suggested that the Constitutions, by regrettable necessity, is a dilution or institutionalization of the highly personal, dynamic relationship with God that Jesuits cultivate when making the month-long retreat known as the Spiritual Exercises. This course argues the opposite: that Ignatius two books comprise an organic unity, so that his spiritual teaching as found in the Exercises cannot be properly understood apart from the Constitutions.
