Saint Ignatius of Loyola served as the first Superior General.

The Superior General of the Society of Jesus is the official title of the leader of the Society of Jesus—the Roman Catholic religious order also known as the Jesuits. He is generally addressed as Father General. Because the Jesuits are such a large and influential order, the position carries the nickname of Black Pope, after his simple black priest's vestments, as contrasted to the white garb of the Pope.

Titles

The formal title in Latin is "Praepositus Generalis," which may fairly be rendered as "superior general," or even "president general." The term is not of military origin, despite popular misconceptions, but is derived from "general" as opposed to "particular" (as with many other Catholic religious orders, like the Dominicans' "master general," Franciscans' "minister general," Carthusians' "prior general" etc.). The Jesuits are organized into provinces, each with a provincial superior (usually referred to as the "Provincial Father," or just "Provincial"), with the head of the order being the "general superior" for the whole organization. As a major superior, the Superior General is styled "The Very Reverend". Master general or Master-general can refer to: the Superior general of certain orders and congregations, such as the Crosiers the Dominicans the Order of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Mercy the Order of Saint Lazarus the Society of the Holy Cross the Trinitarian Order certain secular titles and offices... Minister general is the term used for the superior general of various religious orders. ...


Black Pope

"Black Pope" is a light-hearted name given to the Superior General, usually by the media (and never used by the Jesuits themselves). The name comes partly from the color of the plain black priest's cassock worn by members of the society, including the superior general, and partly from a past concern (most prominent around the 16th and 17th centuries) amongst Protestant European countries concerning the relative power of the Jesuits within the Roman Catholic Church Protestantism is a general grouping of denominations within Christianity. ... Catholic Church redirects here. ...


Powers

The Superior General is invested with ordinary power over the members of the society, similar to the power given to a bishop over the people of a diocese. Superiors General submit themselves to the direct authority of and service to the Pope, not local ordinaries. Also, whenever the pope himself sins, the Superior General performs Reconciliation for him. For other senses of this word, see ordinary (disambiguation). ...

Conspiracy theories

A number of conspiracy theories, not taken seriously by credible scholars, involve the "Black Pope". One such is the idea that the Jesuit Order has control of most of the secret services in the world including the CIA, the FBI, the KGB, the Mossad, the BND, and the SIS and have ordered and profited through creating wars and killing millions. Their motive is claimed to be the eventual rise of the "Black Pope" into the Anti-Christ[1]. A firm believer in such theories is Jack Chick who claims that aside from their being the Pope/Anti-Christ's foot soldiers in the End Times, the Jesuits' Superior General was the Nazi's right hand man and that they were in fact allied with the SS in a bid for pagan world domination.
