The Jesuit priest who presided over an inaugural Mass for President Joe Biden is under investigation for unspecified allegations and is on leave from his position as president of Santa Clara University in Northern California, according to a statement from the college's board of trustees.

Rev. Kevin O'Brien allegedly “exhibited behaviors in adult settings, consisting primarily of conversations, which may be inconsistent with established Jesuit protocols and boundaries,” according to the statement by John M. Sobrato, the board chairman.

O'Brien gave the service at Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle, one of the most prominent Catholic churches in Washington, in January for Biden, who is the nation's second Catholic president, as well as Vice President Kamala Harris, their families and elected officials before the inauguration ceremony at the U.S. Capitol.

O’Brien also presided over services for Biden’s inaugurations as vice president.

The priest has known Biden's family for about 15 years, according to the university...

It figures that pro-abortion “Catholic” (sic) Joe Biden is besties with a homo Jesuit.

The once holy, devout Jesuit order has degenerated into a cabal of homosexual perverts.

“primarily of conversations, which may be inconsistent with established Jesuit protocols and boundaries,”

Primarily conversations but not exclusively, implying some action beyond just words

“Boundaries” indicates we may be looking at an Andy Cuomo-type situation.

I didn’t know that the Jesuits even had protocols and boundaries.

O’Brien, 54, who is a regular contributor to CNN and has been a strong advocate of transparency over the Catholic Church’s allegations, said at a university round table in 2018 that many students approached him with issues and allegations of sexual misconduct and cover up in the church. He said he also struggled with whether or not to stay in the church himself. “Do I stay or do I go? I can only say please dig deep, discern the voices. The Church will set us free,” he said, according to the university’s transcript of the talk. Then he apologized for his slip of the tongue, which implied that the church would carry more weight than secular authorities. “I’m sorry,” he said, laughing. “The truth will set us free; John’s Gospel. And we hope the Church is a part of that.”

First let me lay out my bona fides : I a graduate of this joker’s institution, Santa Clara. My elder son graduated from one of their high schools. “Holy” my heinie. They’re left wing crackpots, all but to a man. And it’s not just the 40 years I’ve dealt with them. They’ve always been subversive and traitors to their oath to the Pope. Gotta get to work and don’t have time to look it up, but they were suppressed c. 1700s for a long time due to their disloyalty. The sons of Loyola are bastard sons and have been for a long time

Hmmm. “...inconsistent with established Jesuit protocols and boundaries... .”

That could mean just about anything.

Did he reaffirm Natural Law? Did he defend the magisterium and tradition of Holy Mother Church? Did he emphasize the Real Presence?

“I wonder what he said.”

Perhaps “Marriage should be between a man and a woman”?
