Description
Excerpt from Fourteen Years a Jesuit, Vol. 2: A Record of Personal Experience and a Criticism
The Transactions of the fifth General Congregation (1593 - 1594) afford abundant food for doubt and con sideration from this point of View. We know them only from the Decrees published by the Order itself. Inci dentally, why has the Order never yet published the com plete minutes of even a single General Congregation - and there have been twenty-five of these up to the present time Space, surely, has not been lacking in its numer ous and voluminous works on the inner and outer history of the Order. But even from these Decrees it can clearly be seen that there is intentional obscurity with regard to the Constitutions, so that we have a full right to doubt their completeness when printed and published by the Order.
