“virtue signalling?”

Well, perhaps it's more benign than I just alleged; perhaps the Jesuits just don't have anything they can do with the land anymore. The current head of the Jesuits is dreadful, though. His recent remarks about how there was no tape recorder when Jesus spoke about divorce, so we don't know that was actually opposed to it...well, what is there to say about those? The Jesuit order seems lost, compared to what it once was. Many seem to be, based on the articles they write, intellectual elitists whose embrace of leftist politics in the name of “the poor” are hollow and self-congratulatory. The assumption of many of them that politically conservative Catholics “don't care about the poor” is so offensive that I have hard time taking any of them seriously anymore.
