On this day in our Jesuit history...

1539The death of Empress Isabel, which leads to the conversion of St. Francis Borgia.
1582At Tyburn, the martyrdom of Thomas Cottam with three other priests. On the way they recited the Te Deum. His dying words were: "O Domine, tu plura pro me passus es, plura, plura, plura."
1640Peter Paul Rubens dies, Flemish painter, friend of Jesuits.
1646Isaac Jogues discovers Lake George. Originally it is named the Lake of the Blessed Sacrament.
1788Voltaire dies Paris, age 82. Born on Nov. 21, 1694 in Paris. He is one of the greatest 18th century authors remembered as a crusader against tyranny, bigotry and cruelty, noted for his characteristic wit, satire and critical capacity. He was educated by the Jesuits at the college of Louis- le-Grand in Paris.
1849Vincent Gioberti's book Il Gesuita Moderno is put on the Index. Gioberti had applied to be admitted into the Society, and on being refused became its bitter enemy and calumniator. "I hate the Jesuits as Hannibal hated the Romans."
1983Paul Mailleux, S.J. dies. He was Father General's Delegate for Jesuits of the Eastern Rites and ran the John XXIII Center, in New York City.
