Funny you should mention the Jesuits, because Gus Hall, the guy Brennan voted for, actually paraphrased Denis Diderot, who alongside Voltaire and his Encyclopedie ilk were the reason why the Jesuits were forced out of France. I fear that them being exiled is ultimately the reason why they are now in the rut they are now, including Francis (he doesn’t even DESERVE to be called a Jesuit with his Red politics).
