the order's 3,700-plus schools worldwide are smaller and many are struggling.The
Rev. Tom Smolich, president of the Jesuit Conference USA, said some are
half-jokingly wondering about a papal version of the "Flutie effect," a
reference to Doug Flutie, quarterback for Jesuit-run Boston College whose
last-second "Hail Mary" pass won a 1984 game against Miami. In the
aftermath, BC's applications increased.Mostly, though, the society is hoping
for what the Rev. Matt Malone, editor of the Jesuit magazine America,
called "a moment of reconciliation." Previous popes have disciplined Jesuit
theologians over liberal teachings. In 2008, Benedict XVI sent a letter
asking the order's worldwide members to pledge "total adhesion" to Catholic
doctrine, including on divorce and homosexuality."That the cardinals would
even consider choosing a Jesuit now, I thought, marked a new beginning
in that relationship," Malone wrote.Recognized by the church in 1540, the
order was founded by Basque soldier Inigo de Loyola. Jesuits swear an
oath of obedience to the papacy and have been dubbed "God's Soldiers"
for their readiness to evangelize anywhere the pontiff sent them. Jesuits
brought Christianity to 16th-century Japan. A 19th-century Belgian Jesuit
was a peace negotiator between the U.S. government and Sioux Indians.But
depending on the era, the society could be viewed with as much
suspicion as respect.Their growing influence sometimes generated resentme
Pyongyang may be planning a missile launch
or another provocation around Wednesday, according to presidential spokeswoman
Kim Haing.During a meeting with other South Korean officials, the official,
Kim Jang-Soo, also said the notice to diplomats and other recent North
Korean actions are an attempt to stoke security concerns and to force
South Korea and the U.S. to offer a dialogue. Washington and Seoul
want North Korea to resume the six-party nuclear talks -- which also
include China, Russia and Japan -- that it abandoned in 2009.The roughly
two dozen countries with embassies in North Korea had not yet announced
whether they would evacuate their staffs.British Foreign Secretary William
Hague suggested that North Korea's comments about foreign diplomats are
"consistent" with a regime that is using the prospect of an external
threat to justify its militarization to its people."I haven't seen any immediate
need to respond to that by moving our diplomats out of there,"
he told the BBC on Saturday. "We will keep this under close
review with our allies, but we shouldn't respond and play to that
rhetoric and that presentation of an external threat every time they come
out with it."Germany said its embassy in Pyongyang would stay open for
at least the time being."The situation there is tense but calm," a
German Foreign Office official, who declined to be named in line with
department policy, said in an email. "The security and danger of the

the new pope will keep his distance from the society, for fear
of giving an appearance of favoritism. Or, he could use his new
authority to become from their perspective
too involved in the society, like John Paul. And they wonder if
Jesuits would somehow be blamed for any of Francis' decisions that prove
unpopular.Jesuits were already at a crossroads when Francis was elected.
Although the order remains the largest in the church for men, membership
has dropped by more than half since peaking in 1965, Gaunt said.The
decline came mostly in the West. But In South Asia and India,
Christianity, and Catholicism specifically, have been growing, and so too
have the numbers of Jesuits in those areas. Gaunt calls it "the
changing Jesuit geography." India now has the largest national group of
Jesuits with just over 3,900 members, followed by the U.S., with just
under 2,500. About one-third of the world's 17,287 Jesuits came from developing
countries, a figure that is expected to rise in coming years.For U.S.
Jesuits, this has meant a long season of wondering where they go
from here. The order is restructuring in the U.S., merging their 10
smaller provinces into four larger ones.Lay people now staff most Jesuit
schools and ministries, so the order has started Jesuit spirituality retreats
and instruction for lay faculty and staff to help maintain the religious
identity of what they've built. Among the newer J
d the West for failure at the weekend talks in
Almaty, Kazakhstan. "The talks showed that the West is not honest in
its remarks," he told reporters.He said Western powers cannot achieve progress
"if they do not acknowledge Iran's natural rights" to enrich uranium.Velayati
is seen a leading candidate for June elections to pick a successor
to President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.The comments were the first by top Iranian
officials after the talks Friday and Saturday between Iran and the five
permanent members of the U.N. Security Council plus Germany.
