Around the world, Jesuits now await word of a General Congregation that will choose a new Black Pope. But the meeting is not likely to be convened until the fall of 1982. In the meantime, conservatives hope that John Paul will use his considerable influence to see that the next superior general is a man in his own mold, while liberals look for a successor who will further open the order to change. Yet both see the present discord as the sort of storm that Ignatius Loyola regarded as useful. Says Father Thomas Cullen, an American missionary in Brazil: "There is always going to be tension within the Jesuits between the sacred and the secular."
