The media and the rest of the left really don’t believe that there are absolute, unchamgeable beliefs. So they always hold out hope that suddenly tje church will approve of abortion and birth control and ordain women.

They dont get “not gonna happen ever.”

As for Jesuits, they were the intellectual force of the church, but, like many other things became corrupted in the 60s.

My father went to a Jesuit college, before they became corrupted liberals.

Thank you-I think some entrenched members of congress illustrate the mean and intolerant part perfectly...
