Vatican City--Father Peter-Hans Kolvenbach, Superior General of the Jesuits since 1983, has announced his intention, "with the consent of His Holiness, Benedict XVI," to step down from his position in 2008, in which year he will turn 80 years of age.
Based on conversations with senior Jesuit sources in Rome May 11, I can confirm that a letter was indeed sent by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith in the early months of 2005, before Ratzinger's election as pope, to [Jesuit Superior General Peter-Hans] Kolvenbach.
Attributed to Jesuit Superior General Pedro Arrupe, who died in 1991)
