{{Main|Suppression of the Society of Jesus}}
On 7 March 1801, Pius VII issued the brief ''Catholicae fidei'' that approved the existence of the [[Society of Jesus]] in the [[Russian Empire]] and appointed its first superior general as [[Franciszek Kareu]]. This was the first step in the restoration of the order. On 31 July 1814, he signed the [[papal bull]] ''[[Sollicitudo omnium ecclesiarum]]'' which universally restored the Society of Jesus to its previous provinces, and the Jesuits began to resume their work in those countries.<ref>{{Cite web|title=The Restored Jesuits (1814–1912) |url=http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/14100a.htm|access-date=2017-03-21 |website=Catholic Encyclopedia |publisher=newadvent.org}}</ref> He appointed [[Tadeusz Brzozowski]] as the [[Superior General of the Society of Jesus|Superior General of the order]].
