d suffer in the spotlight. Maybe 
the new pope will keep his distance from the society, for fear 
of giving an appearance of favoritism. Or, he could use his new 
authority to become    from their perspective    
too involved in the society, like John Paul. And they wonder if 
Jesuits would somehow be blamed for any of Francis' decisions that prove 
unpopular.Jesuits were already at a crossroads when Francis was elected. 
Although the order remains the largest in the church for men, membership 
has dropped by more than half since peaking in 1965, Gaunt said.The 
decline came mostly in the West. But In South Asia and India, 
Christianity, and Catholicism specifically, have been growing, and so too 
have the numbers of Jesuits in those areas. Gaunt calls it "the 
changing Jesuit geography." India now has the largest national group of 
Jesuits with just over 3,900 members, followed by the U.S., with just 
under 2,500. About one-third of the world's 17,287 Jesuits came from developing 
countries, a figure that is expected to rise in coming years.For U.S. 
Jesuits, this has meant a long season of wondering where they go 
from here. The order is restructuring in the U.S., merging their 10 
smaller provinces into four larger ones.Lay people now staff most Jesuit 
schools and ministries, so the order has started Jesuit spirituality retreats 
and instruction for lay faculty and staff to help maintain the religious 
identity of what they've built. Among the newer J
WASHINGTON  Amid mounting tensions with North Korea, the Pentagon has delayed 
an intercontinental ballistic missile test that had been planned for next 
week at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, a senior defense official 
told The Associated Press on Saturday.The official said Defense Secretary 
Chuck Hagel decided to put off the long-planned Minuteman 3 test until 
sometime next month because of concerns the launch could be misinterpreted 
and exacerbate the Korean crisis. Hagel made the decision Friday, the official 
said.The test was not connected to the ongoing U.S.-South Korean military 
exercises that have been going on in that region and have stoked 
North Korean anger and fueled an escalation in threatening actions and rhetoric.North 
Korea's military warned earlier this week that it was authorized to attack 
the U.S. using "smaller, lighter and diversified" nuclear weapons. And South 
Korean officials say North Korea has moved at least one missile with 
"considerable range" to its east coast -- possibly the untested Musudan 
missile, believed to have a range of 1,800 miles. U.S. officials have 
said the missile move suggests a North Korean launch could be imminent 
and thus fuels worries in the region.Pyongyang's moves come on the heels 
of the North's nuclear test in February, and the launch in December 
of a long-range North Korean rocket that could potentially hit the continental 
U.S. Added to that is the uncertainty surrounding the int
