Rome, August 2, 2014: A  National Journal editor once wisely said, "Ain’t no party like a Jesuit party."

The Pope  yet again slipped out of the Vatican on July 31, for yet another spontaneous celebration, this time meeting up with his Jesuit brothers on the occasion of St. Ignatius Loyola’s feast day. The saint founded the Jesuit order, also called the Society of Jesus, in 1534. They are known for their commitment to social justice and emphasis on education.

 

In this picture taken Thursday, July 31, 2014, Pope Francis share a laugh with Rev. Adolfo Nicolas, left, Father Jaquin Barrero, right, and Father Attilio Sciortino during their meeting at the Jesuit Curia, in Rome.

 

It seems that Pope Francis actually crashed the party, as the Italian media  reports that he "told the Jesuit superior, the Rev. Adolfo Nicolas, only at the last minute that he wanted to join, and was driven down the block to the Jesuit headquarters in his blue Ford Focus for the visit."

Not sure what they were talking about, but they certainly looks like Pope Francis is having the best time!!
