Oh yeah. And then there’s ‘Humanae Vitae’. The Jesuits rejected it when it came out in the ‘sixties, and they still haven’t been able to come out ahead since.

It’s irrefutable

While I cannot be accused of having an excessive love for the Jesuits, especially from the 17th century on, this is not entirely fair. Not every Jesuit rejected Humanae Vitae, and to paraphrase Fr. Michael Scanlon, of Franciscan University of Steubenville and charismatic fame, in the beginning pretty well everybody did. This includes the majority of episcopal conferences in first-world countries—are you familiar with the Winnipeg Statement?

That said, your observation that those who rejected have been crippled is spot on.
