"During the past 100 years membership in the Society of Jesus has steadily grown and steadily dropped. In 1910 there were 16,295 Jesuits worldwide and in 2010 there are 18,266. The number of Jesuits steadily increased year by year from 1910 until it peaked in 1965 at 36,038 Jesuits. Since 1965 there is a steady decline each year resulting in about half the number of Jesuits as there was 45 years ago." http://nineteensixty-four.blogspot.com/2011/02/changing-jesuit-geography.html


 * IMO NOTE: ...And yet of the let's say 20,000 members (all unmarried, vowed celebite men) in the shrinking Society there is a clear concerted conviction on their leaderships' part not only to pass judgement on, but to dictate to the remaining 7,051,907,910 members of mankind over how they should think, govern, and believe! read more...

REPORT OF THE TASK FORCE ON GLOBALISATION AND MARGINALISATION

"“Today, more than ever, the needs of the world constitute an urgent call to put our Ignatian universalism into practice..." "It is no longer viable to think about the political process only in terms of national societies. Ongoing global economic and cultural processes require that we all understand ourselves as world citizens, members of a global civil society. As global citizens we need corresponding political institutions with a global scope, so that the common good of humanity is taken care of in the emerging world." (p. 25)

The new ‘fluidity’ of modernity The ‘solidity’ of traditional relationships (and meanings) replaced by a constant reshaping (38). Fluidity of borders for capital and hardening of borders for people (39). Promotion of cultural hybrid forms and as well as new forms of xenophobia, casteism and racism (39).
