I graduated a Jesuit Prep School so long ago that they were still Catholics. The Jebbies enjoy a protection from diocesan ordinaries that was earned by their predecessors and ought no longer apply to the neo-pagans posing as Jebbies nowadays. These guys are onviously rubbing Bishop Murphy's nose in it. That was not why they report only to the "Black Pope" Kolvenbach and, through him, to B-16. B-16 should suppress the Jesuits on general principles. A 70 year suppression should allow for a better reconstituted Society of Jesus since most current Jebbies would be dead or disabled by then.

Short of full suppression, B-16 can and should strip Kolvenbach and the society of its papal protections. Somehow, the Dominicans and Franciscans and Benedictines and other orders have survived without special status. Likewise, however, B-16 should stand prepared to punish anti-Catholic bishops. Subsidiarity is a cherished principle in Catholicism and in conservatism but it has its limits, Whether a religious order rebels or a bishop rebels, punishment should be sure and swift.

The good news is that, although the Jebbies have gone from "God's Marines" to Satan's in forty years, their numbers are now one third of what they were then and rapidly declining. Their leftist commitments may suppress themselves.

Absolutely right, BlackElk! Amen, right on, and preach it, brother! You sound a lot like the pastor of my parish, and he is a wonderful 73 year old Irish dreadnought of the old school, God bless him!
