Background |
| |
He was born in Modena on September 27, 1648. He had entered the Society at the age of 17 after attending the local Jesuit College. After his course of studies, of which he was an apt pupil, he taught Scholastic Philosophy at Bologna and Theology at Mantua for the next twelve years. Successively he became rector of various colleges, then, the Provincial of the Venetian Province, Secretary to the General and, finally, due to Gonzalez' feebleness, he became Vicar General. Since before his death Gonzalez had called for the 15th General Congregation, the fathers decided to go ahead with it. |
| |
The delegates convened on January 20, 1706 and on the 31st of that month elected Michelangelo Tamburini, the 58-year-old Italian from Modena as the 14th General. |
| |
Though the foreign missions were a prime concern of almost every General, Tamburini went at it with vigor. During his generalate the famous Paraguay Reductions were encouraged and promoted. He established missions in the Near East and in the Far East he gave his approval to the "de Nobili" experiment in India. These seeming innovations did not set well with the commercial interests of the great European investments. There was an undercurrent of opposition against the Jesuits which would eventually lead to the Suppression of the Society within the next half-century. |
| |
The Jansenists, too, piqued by their reversals engineered by the Jesuits were in the first row accusing the Jesuits of various nefarious schemes. The missions, especially, were accused of drawing mission lands away from the Church and away from the influence of Portugal, Spain, and France. Tamburini, however, made a special visit to the Pope to assure him of the Society's complete compliance with his directives and steadfast loyalty to the Church. |
| |
During the 24 years and one month of his Generalate, Tamburini was the constant target of slander and calumny and frequently lampooned and caricatured viciously in tracts published by the enemies of the Society. They sought to insult him with cynical cartoons in every attack. Jesuits were accused of betraying the Church in mission countries. But worst of all were the factions that split the Society, itself, and certainly weakened it for the blow which was to come. Attacked from all sides and worn out by confusion and accusation that he was not keeping his Jesuits in order |
| |
He died at the age of 82 on February 28, 1730. He was succeeded as superior general by Franz Retz (1730–1750). |
