I wouldn’t give the Jesuits any credit for “producing” a pro-life EX-Jesuit scholastic!!! I think it’s far more likely that he came to see that the Jesuits is no place for a Catholic.
The Jesuits are changing for the better. Keep praying for them.
Hah! I think he probably had a good upbrining in Houston. The Vietnamese community here is very interesting. The bulk of them are refugees from the southern part of Vietnam. They can smell communism a mile off. It's immigrants like these that will keep the country fresh.
I'm a student at Univ of St Thomas in Houston. The Dominicans have an order of nuns down here and the majority of them are Vietnamese. Some of the nuns attend classes here and they seem to be a very solid bunch. It's funny--you see a bunch of white-habited nuns with their rosaries swinging all the way to the ground, and then notice that they are all Asians! A great group of sisters, and very bright from my experiences in class. Also very faithful and orthodox. Their "up close and personal" experience with communism has left them totally immune to junk like liberation theology. They are terrific allies in the culture wars.
He should have continued his work in the Jesuits as a Catholic missionary. To the Jesuits.
