"In the sciences it was the Jesuits in particular who distinguished themselves; ..."

I guess that the differences of opinions that we likely hold is dependent upon just which Jesuits we have met and known.

A bunch of smart guys who dwell in secret lairs speaking Latin among each other while denying Biblical assertions.

Those are the type of Jesuits that I met and congregated with in my University days.

Not a one among them will defend such things as the virgin birth, or the gifts of the Spirit, but they will indeed go along with the Baltimore Catechism and other such nonsense.

See you at the Judgment Day.

Please show us that portion of the Baltimore Catechism that denies the Virgin Birth or Gifts of the Spirit.

For your information, from the Baltimore Catechism:

86. How was the Son of God made man?
The Son of God was conceived and made man by the power of the Holy Ghost in the womb of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
87. When was the Son of God conceived and made man?
The Son of God was conceived and made man on Annunciation Day, the day on which the Angel Gabriel announced to the Blessed Virgin Mary that she was to be the Mother of God.
125. Which are the seven gifts of the Holy Ghost?
The seven gifts of the Holy Ghost are: wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety, and fear of the Lord.
And the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him; the spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the spirit of counsel and of fortitude, the spirit of knowledge and of godliness. And he shall be filled with the spirit of the fear of the Lord. (Isaiah 11:2-3)
