Good question. 4 years at a Jesuit University, chosen because it was supposedly a Catholic College, did more to harm my faith than grow it. I always say that my faith survived 4 years of Catholic education. Very sad.
As a beneficiary of 8 years of Jesuit education I disagree. While the opinions of many of the Society are controversial and were as well when I was at Fordham, I was never indoctrinated. As a matter of fact I was taught and encouraged to think and evaluate and conclude. One anecdote. Some years ago I attended a Fordham Columbia FB game. I made a politically incorrect comment on one of Fordham’s ends about his height and a Columbia fan chastised me for not being politically correct. I responded that I had a Jesuit education and didn’t have to be politically correct because I was taught how to think not what to think like the Ivies. Joseph O’Hare SJ the school’s Pres. came over and made a point of shaking my hand. Also, I attended several different grad schools of CUNY after Fordham and found myself far better prepared for the work than most of my fellows. As to the Coulter invite. It appears the College republicans withdrew the invite prior to McShane’s comments though there may have been some backchannel communication from McShane’s office. It appears Coulter was a second choice because George Will wanted too high a fee.
Why wont Jesuits defend Catholic doctrine? Because they are atheists, Marxists, and homosexuals.
Answer, Jesuits are not Catholic, they are pagan.
Jesuits, like their 'educated' friends believe that one should be able to do whatever one likes, as long as it feels OK. The Jesuits push the notion of 'conscience as King', and teach that as long as YOU feel good about something, it's not sinful, no matter what the Church teaches. It's the perfect 'moral system' for the self-obsessed.
they are smarter than the bible or the pope...or so they think
Since ballots are secret and have no m/f on them, I don’t believe such drivvle as to how many hispanic, females males etc..only believe the blacks vote for staying on the plantation...by about 95%, the rest is garbage...
I have always wondered about that myself. How do they get these statistics on the demographics of the vote?
Someone pulls the numbers out of a hat and say OK these are the numbers for today....they think we are that stupid. For years I have wondered in distance past voting, they would call a winner when thousands of military haven’t been counted and at sometime during the counting, it would be mentioned military ballots still aren’t counted...that goes back 30 years....but we have a mostly democrat winner...
