Algunos lo interpretan como el culmen de la influencia de los jesuitas: la encarnaci\u00f3n en el papa blanco del poder que ya ejerc\u00eda el papa negro, el superior mundial de la Compa\u00f1\u00eda.<\/p>\n<p>Pero quienes, como yo, hayan recibido una educaci\u00f3n jesuita, sabr\u00e1n que su influencia no pasa por la maquinaria de los puestos. Porque lo suyo es tener poder sin tener el poder. Si hay algo promisorio en el papado del conservador Bergoglio, es justamente lo que pueda traer de la independencia y la rebeld\u00eda jesuitas.<br \/>\nPara entender el pensamiento y el modus operandi de la Compa\u00f1\u00eda de Jes\u00fas, hay que remontarse a su fundaci\u00f3n en 1539. Con la Iglesia cat\u00f3lica en crisis por la corrupci\u00f3n y el boato denunciados certeramente por Lutero, los jesuitas abanderaron la reforma desde adentro y encabezaron la cr\u00edtica contra la burocracia eclesial y su alejamiento del mundo. Contra estos, Ignacio de Loyola y sus seguidores propusieron \u201cbuscar a Dios en todas las cosas\u201d y, con ello, darle un giro terrenal al catolicismo.<br \/>\nEl resultado es una congregaci\u00f3n \u201cm\u00e1s preocupada por la justicia social y econ\u00f3mica que por asuntos de pureza doctrinal\u201d, como lo dijo el New York Times al comentar la elecci\u00f3n de Bergoglio. De ah\u00ed que Francisco de Roux, cabeza de los jesuitas en Colombia, espere que el nuevo papa d\u00e9 un timonazo hacia \u201cuna Iglesia cerca del ser humano, sobre todo del afligido, del sometido a la pobreza\u201d.<br \/>\nEl otro rasgo distintivo de los jesuitas es el pensamiento cr\u00edtico, respaldado por una s\u00f3lida formaci\u00f3n intelectual. Por ello el papa Clemente XIV los suspendi\u00f3 en 1773, Carlos III los expuls\u00f3 de Am\u00e9rica y Tom\u00e1s Cipriano de Mosquera los desterr\u00f3 de Colombia. Por ello tambi\u00e9n un rasgo entra\u00f1able de la educaci\u00f3n que imparten en sus colegios \u2014centrada en la investigaci\u00f3n hecha por los propios estudiantes, en lugar de la memorizaci\u00f3n\u2014 es la discusi\u00f3n y el cuestionamiento constantes, aun de los dogmas de la Iglesia. No sorprende, entonces, la franqueza de las cr\u00edticas que hizo de Roux a la Iglesia en su reciente entrevista en El Tiempo.<br \/>\nEn eso consiste, en \u00faltimas, el poder de los jesuitas: inoculan en sus instituciones y sus estudiantes el bicho de la autonom\u00eda intelectual y la justicia social con tal eficiencia, que luego no precisan acudir a las maquinaciones pol\u00edticas que usan las \u00f3rdenes religiosas opuestas, como el ultraconservador Opus Dei. Sin organizar encuentros de exalumnos ni pedir favores para ellos o sus graduados, terminan influyendo m\u00e1s que si lo hicieran.<br \/>\nPor supuesto, como en toda congregaci\u00f3n, entre los jesuitas hay mucha variedad. Mientras que la mayor\u00eda probablemente se inclina por el activismo social del Concilio Vaticano II y la apertura en temas morales como la eutanasia y los derechos de las parejas del mismo sexo, otros, como Bergoglio, se han opuesto a la Teolog\u00eda de la Liberaci\u00f3n y seguido la l\u00ednea conservadora de Juan Pablo II y Benedicto XVI. Me toc\u00f3 aprender la diferencia al pasar del progresista San Bartolom\u00e9 a la Javeriana, de donde hu\u00ed espantado por la vieja guardia que entonces dominaba la universidad.<br \/>\nGuardando las proporciones, la Iglesia cat\u00f3lica pasa hoy por una crisis an\u00e1loga a la de 1539. El lujo, el conservadurismo social, la ortodoxia doctrinal y la corrupci\u00f3n romana la han convertido en una m\u00e1quina de perder seguidores e influencia. Quiz\u00e1, como entonces, los jesuitas puedan ayudar a hacer la reforma interna. Para eso, Francisco tendr\u00eda que ser m\u00e1s jesuita que cat\u00f3lico.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The arrival of the jesuit Jorge Bergoglio to the head of the Catholic Church has put the company of jesus on the spotlight.
