JESUIT NOVITIATE CUSTOMS
DURING THE JESUIT NOVITIATE PRIOR TO THE SECOND VATICAN
COUNCIL, NOVICES WERE DISCOURAGED FROM FORMING "PARTICULAR
FRIENDSHIPS". TO DISCOURAGE CLOSE FRIENDSHIPS, NOVICES
HAD TO GO ON WALKS WITH AT LEAST TWO OTHER NOVICES, AND
NOVICES WERE ASSIGNED PARTNERS TO WALK WITH.
Submitter comment: THIS POLICY IS NO LONGER PRACTICED.
