On this day in our Jesuit history...

1569St. John of Avila dies. Spiritual Director: "The Master". A special friend of the Society of Jesus and of St. Ignatius - an "honorary Jesuit."
1616In Poland, a disgruntled ex-Jesuit, Jerome Zahorowski, published a notorious attack on the Society of Jesus called the "Monita Secreta Societatis Jesu." The document supposedly revealed the secret instructions directing the machinations of Jesuits. It was for a long time one of the most influential anti-Jesuit tracts ever published.
1657In China died Fr. Stephen LeFevre, called "a second Xavier." 1773. Empress Maria Teresa of Austria changed her friendship for the Society into hatred, because she had been led to believe that a written confession of hers (found and printed by Protestants) had been divulged by the Jesuits.
1848The Austro-Hungarian government decreed the suppression of the Society of Jesus in all its empire.
