able yet aimless men, hopelessly compromised by perjury...

Excellent line in an excellent article. This, of course, just after I finished reading other posts about the stem cell experiments at Georgetown and the Vagina Monologues being done at another school to benefit something called the "Pro Choice Coalition."

I've always wondered why the good Jesuits - such as Fr. Fessio - don't simply pull up stakes and create a "reformed" Jesuit order. Reformed orders have certainly been created often enough throughout the history of the Church. This happens when the original order has lost the charism of its founder, or when it has simply become fat and lazy.

Of course, having it become treasonous is a whole different matter, and I'm not sure there's any historical precedent.

How about a mutiny, kicking out the "nasty" jebbies, assigning them to the Deformed Jesuit order?   :-)  FReegards.

The Jesuits are not unlike the Knights Templar; both once fiercely loyal and devoted foot soldiers of the Church Militant, turned by their own successes and resultant luxury into lazy slobs, dedicated only to money, apostasy and buggery.
