New Jesuit Superior: a Marxist Revolutionary

Hours after Cardinal Bergoglio was elected Pope, Rorate was the first to bring you inside information from Argentina on what to expect (The Horror: A Buenos Aires Journalist describes Bergoglio).

Now, Rorate, surrounded by friends around the globe, has been contacted by a Venezuelan source, eager to tell the world what exactly to expect of the new Superior-General of the Society of Jesus (the Pope's own religious society), Fr. Arturo Sosa Abascal, based on his experience in his native land, now wrecked by the Socialism brought on, in great measure, by Marxist "Catholics".

In reality, the current situation in Venezuela, of widespread hunger and desperation, is exactly what Liberation Theology looks in practice. And Sosa was a big part of this.

The new General Superior of the Jesuits, Father Arturo Sosa, is a Venezuelan Marxist. The Pope has appointed a man who has rejected the teaching of Jesus Christ and the rich 2000 year Catholic tradition and who supports the brutal and corrupt version of Marxism in place in Venezuela.

Venezuela was once a prosperous country. Then the corrupt, socialist thugs who control Venezuela created enormous human misery and human suffering. Pope Francis has had a close relationship with the Maduro regime and has met with Maduro several times.

People in Venezuela are suffering. They are desperately trying to replace Maduro. But the socialist regime has used extreme violence and brutal repression to remain in power.

Pope Francis has been supportive of Maduro and his repressive regime. He does not hold them responsible for the suffering they create. Pope Francis blames capitalism.

Pope Francis talks about "the poor", but only as a weapon to attack free societies and free enterprise. Pope Francis supports brutally repressive regimes that rule through fear and create suffering and starvation.

Pope Francis recently met with Maduro and is intervening in Venezuela to help the brutal, corrupt Maduro regime remain in power.

The current starvation and human suffering in Venezuela is exactly what "liberation theology" looks like in real life.

I graduated a very fine and verrrrry Catholic Jesuit four year college preparatory school. I trusted the Jesuit community at Fairfield, CT, enough to enroll then at Fairfield University (on the same campus) which turned out to be a hotbed of heresy and blind "Vatican II" enthusiasms and a second rate educational institution.

I dropped out of the hellish university at the end of freshman year. I heard (about five years after graduating the prep school that my very best teacher had suffered a serious stroke, could speak with difficulty but was just barely able to receive visitors at the magnificent Rice Mansion that was the Jesuit residence. I suspected that he might die and I wanted to get the benefit of his wisdom before he did.

He was no socialist and certainly no agnostic and he was every inch a man's man. He was a professional baseball player (left hand pitcher) to the age of 42 and never got a cup of major league coffee even in spring training but, until his arm was just about falling off, he was stubbornly following his dream of MLB.

Then, single and unable to pitch, and quite Irish Catholic he determined to enter the priesthood and chose the Jesuits because "This time I was going to start in the major leagues."

Only five years after my graduation, he told me that the prep school I knew was no more. "Baking classes! Modules in Modern Dance!...."

The Superior General (the "Black Pope) in the mid-1960s until the early 1980s) was the Basque Pedro Arrupe, until now, the single most despicable excuse for a Superior General in the entire history of the Jesuit Order. Arrupe effectively the Jesuit Order and they have een laying low ever since. Now under Frankie the Phony they are apparently ready to become a full-fledged menace.

If you attended a Jesuit secondary school in the Northeast in the 1960’s and 1970’s, the experiece was overwhelmingly positive. Those dedicated Jesuits, often Irish-Americans such as your role model, took working class kids, strove mightily to inspire them to become “Christian cultured gentlemen” and teach them a love of learning. They were proud Catholics and made no apologies and were not afraid to be counter cultural in the best sense of the word. It is with the greatest sadness to observe the descent of the Jesuit order. Frankly any parent who sends his child to a Jesuit college or university for a Catholic education is being defrauded. The secondary schools have declined as well.
