Communication of General Congregation 36
2014/08
TO THE WHOLE SOCIETY

Dear Brothers,

P .C. [Pax Christi]

Several years have passed since my election as Superior General of the Society and I have recently reached the age of 78. Reflecting on the coming years, I have reached the personal conviction that I should take the needed steps towards submitting my resignation to a General Congregation. After obtaining the initial approval of the Assistants ad providentiam and having informed his Holiness Pope Francis, I formally consulted the Assistants ad providentiam and the Provincials, as our law requires (NC 362). The result of the consultation is favorable towards the convening of a General Congregation.

After having discussed the matter with my Council, through this letter I wish to inform the whole Society that, towards the end of this year, I will convoke the 36th General Congregation, to be held during the final months of the year 2016.

Therefore, the meeting of Provincials originally scheduled for January 2015 in Yogyakarta and convoked on 12 March of this year (Circular Letter 2014/03) is canceled.

Let us ask Our Lady of the Way to place the Society with Her Son on this journey of discernment that we now begin.

Fraternally yours in the Lord,

Adolfo Nicolás, S.I.
Superior General

They have a specific figure in mind for the next stage of the global anti-christian agenda? Like they had to remove Benedict to put the Francis guy?

That was so weird- early 2013- they announce B16's impending resignation February 11- the anniversary of Wlodimir Ledochowski becoming Superior General in 1915 - hours before the vatican is struck by two lightning bolts; they announce they will have a new Pope by mid April yet speed things up to get B16 in by mid March!
