1763French King dissolves SJ in all his dominions. In a pastoral letter read in all the churches, the Archbishop of Paris expressed his bitter regret at the suppression of the society in France. He describeditas a veritable calamity for his country.
1873At Rome, all the Society's houses were by royal decree appropriated by the government. Father General, P. Beckx, left the house at an early hour to be spared the trial of appearing before the Giunta Liquidatrice (Commission of Suppression).
