The
Superior General of the Society of Jesus is the official title of the leader of the
Society of Jesus—the
Roman Catholic religious order, also known as the Jesuits. He is generally addressed as
Father General. The position sometimes carries the nickname of the
Black Pope, after his simple black
priest's vestments, as contrasted to the white garb of the
Pope. The thirtieth and current Superior General is the Reverend Father
Adolfo Nicolás.
