9/11 was a Commemorative Event for the Jesuit Order
Pastor Nelson C. Turner in his 2010 work The Mind of the Jesuit states the following:
βThroughout their history, the disciples of Ignatius have been men given to commemoration; much commemoration. Catholicism is a religion composed of commemorative feast days, saint's days, and days of abstinence or fasting all marked for celebration in a set, annual manner. Therefore many of the actions of the Order are done in a manner to memorialize the actions of long deceased compatriots, martyrs, or heroes of the Society. Specific historic places, events, and men are remembered continuously and signalized worldwide to the dispersed Jesuits, through shapes, signs, colors, and dates. Many of the illustrations in this work bear witness to this fact. The destruction of the World Trade Center in New York City on September 11th, 2001, and the strike on the Pentagon on that date were both Jesuit commemorative events. βOn June 24, 1537, the feast of St. John the Baptist, Ignatius, Aavier, Salmeron, Rodriguez, Bobadilla, and Codure received the Sacrament of Holy Orders from the hands of bishop Nigusanti of Arbi. Further days of retreat were spent in preparation for their first Mass, which all but Ignatius celebrated on September 11th.βΒΉ The catastrophic event in New York was meaningful to Jesuits world-wide: Ignatian militarism would let loose the dogs of war upon the whole Arab world, with the implosion on September 11 of the Twin Towers complex a signal and excuse for what was to come. Even more startling, the construction of the Pentagon that was attacked that day began with groundbreaking on SEPTEMBER 11, 1941. βContracts totaling $31,100,000 were finalized with McShain and the other contractors on September 11, 1941, and ground was broken for the Pentagon the same day.ββΒ²
