The Maryknolls and unfortunately, Jesuits, have strayed from the path of orthodoxy. Ignatius Loyola would never recognize what were once the shock troops of the counter reformation.

Well, there are Jesuits and then there are Jesuits.

There are a number of very orthodox and faithful ones . . . and then there are the ones who have run off the rails a bit.

A number of years ago a FReeper told me that the way to tell them apart was to look at their shoes. An orthodox Jesuit will almost always be wearing beat-up, well-worn sturdy shoes. I haven't checked to see what the other kind are wearing, but my daughter attends a Jesuit parish at college and tells me that sure enough, the old-timers wear shoes that look like they came from the reject pile at Goodwill.
