One of my wife's professors at a jesuit college in the US was a bigtime Amnesty supporter and advocate. He was always bashing the US and handing out Amnesty International literature on campus.

I heard he cut his ties with the organization when Amnesty International documented the rapes, torture, and mutilation committed by the Iraqis against Kuwait and people caught there during the invasion (Phillipinos, Thai, etc). Must have been too "pro-US" for him to take.

Recently, she heard her old professor got busted for solicitng a male prostitute. Par for the course.

Not an unusual stance for for the Jesuits....or other orders.

Notre Dame, where I graduated from some years ago, has morphed from conservatism to liberalism with the traditional Catholic stance against such things as homesexuality etc fading into obscurity.

Sad.
