Encyclopedia of Religion entry for

Baccanarists

A religious order (also called " Paccanarists "), founded by one Baccanari or Paccanari of Trentino in 1798. Their proper title was Regular Clerks of the Faith of Jesus. Baccanari established his monastery in a country house near Spoleto with the idea of reviving the Jesuit Society of Jesus. The movement spread to France and Holland; but in 1804, when the Society of Jesus was re-established in Naples, it necessarily lost ground, and in 1814, on the restoration of the Jesuits, it ceased to exist. See Cath. Dict.
