I'm looking forward to the release of my friend Fr. Sam Conedera's new book, the first major work ever on the thought of Alfonso Salméron: one of the original Jesuits who helped found the Society of Jesus with St. Ignatius & who played an important role at the Council of Trent.

Sam Zeno Conedera tells us why he wrote about Alfonso Salmerón and what he learnt about early #Jesuits in this Q&A blog ➡️ buff.ly/EkI3Rl2

#Inquisition

Particularly proud of that one. It owes so much to Cesare Santus who really is the prime editor here. For me the volume has a personal taste, as my paper deals with how the Roman Inquisition handled the community of my Greek ancestors in Genoese Corsica.
