« Jésuite toute ma vie en somme (je suis entré dans la Compagnie de Jésus à l'âge de seize ans et demi !), j'ai traversé" bien des étapes, bien des périodes. Lors de l'après-guerre, je me suis beaucoup investi dans la pensée de Marx et dans les réalités de l'Union soviétique je me suis ensuite investi dans la pensée sociale catholique en même temps que dans les problèmes de "développement", à l'époque cruciale de la décolonisation, et je commençai à connaître le monde, plus ou moins en entier. Je constate aujourd'hui que si j'ai des choses à dire, c'est surtout à propos de la Compagnie de Jésus et d'événements survenus en son centre, à Rome essentiellement, au temps des papes Paul VI et Jean-Paul II et du père Pedro Arrupe, notre supérieur général d'alors c'est là-dessus qu'on m'a dit souvent souhaiter lire un jour ce que je pouvais avoir en mémoire. Il me faut pourtant encadrer ces souvenirs parmi d'autres, de ma propre existence, qui les expliquent parfois, fût-ce par contraste. Je ne prétends dire aucun message, sinon de confiance dans les événements par lesquels Dieu nous dirige. » [Jean-Yves Calvez]

‘A Jesuit all my life, so to speak (I entered the Society of Jesus at the age of sixteen and a half!), I have "traversed" many stages, many periods. After the war, I was greatly taken with the ideas of Marx and the realities of the Soviet Union then I was involved in Catholic social thinking as well as the problems of "development" in those crucial years of decolonisation, and I was beginning to know the world, more or less in its entirety. Today, I realise that I have some things to say, especially about the Society of Jesus and events that happened in its centre, in Rome mostly, in the days of Popes Paul VI, John-Paul II and Father Pedro Arrupe, our Superior General at that time. People have often said they'd like to read what I recall of that period. However, I must put these memories into context with others, and with my own life, which sometimes explains them, albeit by contrast. I don't claim to have a message, unless it is my confidence in the events through which God governs us.' [Jean-Yves Calvez]"
