...Salvador, the second largest city in Central America, sports a variety of attractions, all within walking distance of one another. Founded in 1524, the capital boasts the traditional Spanish architecture of the Shrine of the Virgin of Guadeloupe and St. Ignatius Loyola, as well as the resplendent National Palace and Archbishop's Palace...
...selecting Kolvenbach as the 28th successor to the society's founder, St. Ignatius of Loyola, the Jesuits may have resolved a point of tension with the Pope: How active should they become in politics? Pope John Paul II has warned all priests against becoming too political, although acknowledging that they have a duty to promote social justice. Father Pedro Arrupe, Kolvenbach's predecessor, encouraged social activity by Jesuits in the U.S. and Latin America. John Paul has also been nettled by Jesuits who question church teachings.

The first act and initial scenes of the second provide a satire of American family life; the rest of the play deals with the problems of an individual...
...diocese has gone so far as to accept homosexual behavior. Not surprisingly, many centrist and conservative Catholics in the archdiocese were alarmed not only by the contents of the report but by the fact that it was issued at all. Said Conservative Jesuit Joseph Fessio, director of the St. Ignatius Institute at the University of San Francisco: "If the Catholic Church has a view of sexuality that is correct, then the most compassionate thing the church can do is to clearly express that unambiguously. To let people think they can be authentically human and yet live a life-style that...
