In With Eyes and Ears Open: The Role of Visitors in the Society of
Jesus, twelve historians examine important visitations in the
history of the Society. After a thorough investigation of the
nature and role of the "visitor" in Jesuit rules and regulations,
ten visitations of missions and provinces-from Peru in the
sixteenth century, to Ireland in the seventeenth, to the Zambesi
mission and Australia in the twentieth-are considered. Visitors,
appointed by the superior general in Rome, surveyed the situation
for fidelity to the Jesuit way of life, resolved any problems, and
recommended future paths, often to the disapproval of Jesuit hosts.
One contribution concerns the canonical visitation of the
non-Jesuit Francis Saldanha da Gama in 1758, which resulted in the
expulsion of the Jesuits from Portugal in 1759.
