The 31st General Congregation recognizes how important it is for the Society and especially for Father General to be informed about all that goes on in the Society or outside of it which in any way affects its life. It recommends that Father General examine the entire question of an information service, both in the General Curia and in the whole Society, and that he take care to have some specialists trained who will be able at a suitable time to set up effective information centers. In addition, the Memorabilia Societatis Iesu should be revised. It should be edited in a modern language and contain not only “what makes for edification” but everything that is “worthy of note,” including the problems and difficulties that confront the Society in different parts of the world.
