A medal, struck by Pope Clement XIV, commemorating his suppression of the Jesuit order in 1773. So relevant today in so many respects – I wonder what Stephen Walford thinks of it?
NOTE: Some sources claim this is a clever imitation of a papal medal issued in 1773 (in Germany? the Low Countries?) by the more rabid enemies of the Jesuits. The insulting inscription does seem extreme – even if Clement XIV did imprison the leadership of the Jesuit order (causing several deaths). I also have found that “Father Zed” and Fr Hunwicke have also devoted some attention to this medal earlier this year.
