A terrific picture of the new Superior General of the Society of Jesus, better known as the Jesuits -- traditionally nicknamed "the black pope". Today, Father Adolfo Nicolas of Spain celebrated his first mass as head of the Jesuits at the Church of Jesus in Rome.

By the shape of things in the Church of England it looks like the directive that was given at the Council of Trent 457 years ago to destroy and undermine the Church of England is still an active directive today. The document giving the orders to a Jesuit priest called Father Thomas Heath were found by the Verger at Rochester Cathedral after the Jesuit priest had dropped his instructions in October 1556, the British Museum has in its possession the document in question.
