Fr. Larry Madden, S.J., is a Georgetown Jesuit. I guess that says it all.

These are the guys who consider Bill Clinton to be their most distinguished alumnus.

The heretic who ran the Jesuits died a couple of years ago, I think, but they elected another heretic to take his place. Too bad, but I don’t think the Jesuit Order can be salvaged at this point. And as for Georgetown University, it’s the very last place I would send any good Catholic kid to be educated.

The Jesuits used to be a grand order. They seem to have become a bit more Buddhist in philosophy.

On that note, it always fascinated me that the left became so enthralled with Buddhism. The very origins of the faith state that life is pain and suffering and that we should attempt to extinguish the self. Meanwhile, that concept is picked up by a bunch of hedonistic, sometimes homosexual leftists in a way that makes no sense whatsoever. They grab onto some aspects of Karma and harmony and call it grand, partly because it has nothing to do with Western spirituality or a Western ethos—all the while ignoring the starting point of the faith.

I think that is in part what has happened with the Jesuit order and those agnostics and the like who put a lot of value in Jesuit education. The pick and choose crowd, if you will.

Agreed. I wonder if Georgetown can ever be salvaged. You can get a great education there, but.... a Catholic education? No.
