Big plans for Jesuits on environment

Catholic religious order, the Jesuits, are about to hold their General Congregation which is in effect a worldwide council of all their members where they will also elect a new "general" to replace the retiring Fr Peter-Hans Kolvenbach, the National Catholic Reporter says.

The Congregation will also set the direction for the Jesuits in coming years. It will discuss 262 "postulates" or proposals. Of these 42 concern justice issues and another 41 deal with environmental questions.

Let's keep an eye on reports from the Congregation over the next few weeks.
