I suggest merging this article into Society of Jesus.--Mm35173 14:51, 2 August 2005 (UTC)

I suggest merging this article into List of Latin phrases, unless there's much more significant information to add here in the future that would make it a little less stubby. -Silence 18:58, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

See I Corinthians 10:31 "do everything for the glory of God". m.e. 01:38, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Yes, that would be a start. This phrase does nmot originate with the Jesuits, as the article implies. --Wetman 02:47, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Latin aspects

Which one is more correct:

• Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam or
• Ad Maiorem Dei Gloriam

Is there any reason why it's spelled Ad maiorem Dei gloriam? Olentz 17:09, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

According to my WEBSTER'S II NEW RIVERSIDE UNIVERSITY Dictionary’s section on Foreign Words and Phrases, it is spelled "ad majorem Dei gloriam". However, the "Latin Alphabet" does not have a "J or a j", so, the letter "I or i" is used.

It depends on your Latin... originally it would have been written AD MAIOREM DEI GLORIAM; this was before the invention of the letter 'J'. m.e. 01:35, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] AMDG as a motto

Who cares if it's Marquette's motto... it's the motto of nearly every Jesuit institution (except, ironically, thet one i attend) 69.122.137.200 01:52, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
