How about a better link to the full-text version of the Exercitia Spiritualia[edit]

The article's link to the "full text" of the Exercises takes the reader to a Calvin College page that presents the document one small page per mouse click. It also contains at least one ad.

There are better, ad-free choices available. In keeping with Wikipedia's non-commercial ideals (see WP:ADS), I believe the link should be changed from:

http://www.ccel.org/ccel/ignatius/exercises.titlepage.html

to:

http://www.archive.org/details/a588350800loyouoft (where several formats are available without charge)

I'm not asking anyone to change it; I'll do that in a day or two and am inviting comment on the matter. Of course, if anyone has a better link, please say so!

Textual history[edit]

It would be good if this article included a section on the textual history of the Exercises. There are different versions circulating, some longer and some shorter, and some are organized according to "days of the week" whereas others are organized only according to "exercises" (albeit contained within four week-long series). Were there several editions? Was there an edition authorized by Ignatius? What is the history here? - 86.40.23.69 (talk) 09:08, 18 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion[edit]

Please communicate with me here or on my talk page if you question any of my edits. I don't oppose improvements but would like to know your reasons, and can share with you mine.Jzsj (talk) 08:15, 8 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Removing Source "On the Ignatius Way: A Pilgrimage in the Footsteps of Saint Ignatius if Loyola"[edit]

This reference does not speak on the facts of the Spiritual Exercises of Ignatius but instead is a dialog with the author of "On the Ignatius Way". In the cited article the author says to follow his interpretations of the spiritual exercises to help you through the 21st century. Would like to see this source removed as it doesn't seem to be relevant to the article. Best.DamianABrown (talk) 02:23, 19 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
