Chris' post about the Jesuits and theater was really insightful. The connection that he made between Vitus and the Jesuit influence was incredible. I never looked at it that way. Jesuits are enthusiastic about theater. That is evident even when they celebrate masses. Their enthusiasm is palpable. One thing I did think was interesting was his notion that the Jesuit zeal was close to dead. I never have felt like the Jesuit zeal was close to dying. It might have taken a break back in the day, yes, but I think it is stronger than ever presently.
