Background |
| |
He had been born in Poland on October 21, 1749 and entered the Society in Russia on February 2, 1784. He was a successful and well known preacher and was named Vicar General by Father Kareu in 1797. He died at the age of 71 and was buried in his native Poland. |
| |
He was elected general in Poland on September 2, 1805 after the death of General Gruber. |
| |
In one of his first political acts, General Brzozowski sent word to Pope Pius VII (1800-1823) demanding that the Jesuit order be reinstated. The Pope steadfastly refused and so Brzozowski sent word to Antonio Cristoforo Saliceti to press Napoleon to invade the Papal states and seize the Pope. |
| |
In October 1806, the ex-jesuits of Maryland were fully incorporated into the Society and Brzozowski allowed an American novitiate with ten novices to be opened at Georgetown. |
| |
Napoleon agreed with his patron Saliceti and then proceeded to Invade Italy and capture the Papal states in 1808. The Pope himself was captured Castel Sant'Angelo and removed from Rome a prisoner in 1809. |
| |
In 1812 Polatsk was upgraded by Tsar Alexander I (1801-1825) into a university academy, allowing thus affiliation of all the Jesuit schools and protecting them from undue local interference. This was done as a gesture in the hope of persuading the Jesuits of influencing Napoleon in their favour. It has no effect as Napoleon against best advice launched his ill-fated invasion in June 1812. |
| |
As it became clear that Napoleon was no longer capable of being influenced and his grip on power would be short lived, General Brzozowski sent word in 1813 to the imprisoned Pope Pius VII offering a truce between the war between the Jesuits and the Papacy if he restore the Order. Pius VII agreed and General Brzozowski set about ensuring the support of a broad coalition against Napoleon with both the Jesuit and Papal blessing. |
| |
At the Congress of Vienna (Nov 1, 1814 to June 8, 1815) The Papal States were restored as promised. |
| |
On August 7, 1814, almost exactly forty-one years to the day since Clement XIV suppressed the Society, Pius VII sought peace with the Jesuits and celebrated mass in the Church of the Gesú, and formally promulgated the bull of restoration of the Jesuits, Sollicitudo omnium ecclesiarum. |
| |
The newly reconstituted Jesuits deemed a general congregation unnecessary: Brzozowski retained the title and became Superior General of the Society of Jesus. |
| |
Having seen the Jesuits now switch their allegiances supposedly to the Russian royal family who saved the order from extinction back to the Pope Tsar Alexander published an edict on December 20, 1815 expelling them from St. Petersburg and taking over their High School, Brzozowski was detained under house arrest and forbidden to return to Rome. |
| |
Brzozowski died on February 5, 1820 and was buried in Polatsk, Belarus. He was succeeded as superior general by Luigi Fortis (1820-1829) elected in Rome. Upon the loss of Jesuit influence back to Italy, on March 13 1820, the Jesuits were expelled from Russia. |
