sday, the Jesuit periodical America sounded a dark note: “Are Nigeria’s Christians the target of a genocide? That is the conclusion of a number of religious freedom analysts and Nigerian clergy.” Yet the venerable Leftist Catholic magazine’s warning was veritably dripping with irony, for the same publication has for quite some time been vilifying and smearing people who did speak out against the persecution of Christians in Nigeria and elsewhere...America magazine is not actually being as inconsistent as it may seem at first glance. Even though America’s Kevin Clarke identifies Boko Haram as made up of “Islamic militants,” it is absolutely certain that he and his fellow America magazine writers would insist that Boko Haram was misunderstanding the beautiful and peaceful religion of Islam. They would no doubt affirm, with Pope Francis, that “authentic Islam and the proper reading of the Koran are opposed to every form of violence.”
But still, the magazine calls the persecutors “Islamic militants” and notes that Christians are being “explicitly targeted.” When America magazine demonizes analysis of the motivating ideology behind this persecution, they make people afraid to speak out. The bishops in the U.S. and Europe that America magazine wants to speak out against the Muslim persecution of Christians now have been teaching for years that any discussion of such matters is “Islamophobic,” and will harm the “dialogue” between Muslims and Christians.

A Jesuit periodical is a Catholic mag?

Question for Catholics—
Is the Jesuit Order recognized by the Catholic Church or is it not?
Look... Christianity is far too important to be left to the clergy. They’ll sit around in a circle jerk until the whole thing collapses and then blame their moms.
So we should think that a genocide is occurring, but those doing it are truly nice people with great motives?
The main difference between a Jesuit and a Protestant is at least the Protestant admits that they are not Catholic.
Another PC casualty You can’t even decry prersecution...
.
Yes. It is recognized. This pope is a Jesuit.
I went to a Catholic Jesuit college, but majored in Chemistry, so I really didn’t see all the crap that may have been going on, plus it was a long time ago. One interesting thing is Lee Harvey Oswald gave a talk to the seminarians at the college a week before the Kennedy assassination.
Jesuits are not assigned to parishes like other priestly orders. I think their order is directly under the pope.
I’ve started studying the Catholic Church now that there is a communist mother earth type in as pope, who sold out Catholics in China and now have a different opinion of the Church.
It’s not the same Church my mother believed in.
I think Francis fancies himself the NWO Pope.
“ Question for Catholics—

Good question. My answer is, yes they are. They were then they were not then they were. They’re always in controversy and they reject important teachings of the Church. I think if the church had strong leadership it might not. It has rejected them in the past. Pope Clement banned them at one time
They rejected Humanae Vitae, but then Pope Paul, the author, relented. Bad move. The church leaders could have stuck to Jesus’ teachings and wed have some leadership in this mess.
Catholics do well be knowing the catechism
Men (people) run these institutions, and can be wrong, but the foundation is the important thing in an imperfect world. This is not heaven
The same can be said of the US. Democrats are recognized as a legitimate party but they are not in my view. They are destructive and have no regard for the foundation.
This is the Audience Hall for Popes. This 1971 statue looks plain evil to me.
Never saw it before until a few years ago.
He is a NWO pope. There exists a deep church aligned with the deep state, and they share the globalist view.
The Society of Jesus and its propaganda rag, America, have reeked with anti-Americanism and anti-Catholicism for decades.
Is the Jesuit Order recognized by the Catholic Church or is it not?
.........................................
Yes, but speaking as a lifelong Catholic I can attest that both institutions have become viciously anti-American AND anti-Catholic!
Look... Christianity is far too important to be left to the clergy. They’ll sit around in a circle jerk until the whole thing collapses and then blame their moms.

LMAO! Well and hilariously done!
The main difference between a Jesuit and a Protestant is at least the Protestant admits that they are not Catholic.
