I seem to recall that the Jesuits were to elect a new leader in a year or two. I’m hoping that the Pope will be planning to move in his careful and methodical way to start reining in the out of control Society of Jesus.

With God, all things are possible, but it’s not very likely. As a rule, God does not intervene against the exercise of free will when people knowingly choose wrongly.

The Jesuit Order has accomplished great things over the course of its history, but I’m afraid the order has been spiritually sick and dying for decades now.

Pope John Paul II invervened and tried to impose a caretaker head on the Jesuits, but they wouldn’t have it. The dissidents are in control everywhere, many of them seem to be homosexuals, and with a situation like that, history suggests that the order will die, and that some new order, perhaps an order of Reformed Jesuits, will eventually rise to take its place.

But there doesn’t seem to be any question that the Jesuit leadership are acting out of ignorance. They know what they are doing, and it isn’t pretty.

I think the Jesuits are going the way of many of the liberal religious orders; they are dying out. I don't believe they have as many young members as older ones; they're not drawing the novices like they used to. Young men who are serious Catholics are looking at the Jebbies and asking themselves why they would bother entering an order that seems to have wandered away from the faith and the Church. I believe, too, that the Jesuits have lost a good number of their members to AIDS in the last 15 years, or so.

They have been teaching for years that 'conscience is King'; that if YOU think some action is not a sin, then it isn't. I had to correct a young Associate at our Parish who was talking with the parents during a First Penance class, because he espoused this attitude. He'd been educated by the Jebbies, so that's what he believed! I reminded him that what he was saying was NOT what the Church taught, no matter how many 'well educated' people believed it.
