Father James Martin, SJ, is a faithful priest, best-selling writer, and a respected member of the editorial staff at the Jesuit-run America Media.
His most recent book, Building a Bridge: How the Catholic Church and the LGBT Community Can Enter into a Relationship of Respect, Compassion, and Sensitivity, is an important publication for our Church and the people of God to whom we minister. All of Father Martins books are written with the full consent of his religious superiors and in conformity with Catholic Church publishing guidelines. Building a Bridge, which was reviewed by the Censor Librorum of the USA Northeast Province of the Society of Jesus, received an Imprimi Potest from Fr. Martins provincial, declaring its suitability for publication.
Fr. Martin is a meaningful voice in our Church both in the United States and throughout the world. His recent appointment as a consultant to the Vaticans Secretariat for Communications affirms the power of his work, which is a tremendous tool for both preaching the Gospel and for evangelization.

No fail at all on my part. The words immediately before the quote you just cited shows Adams was just a bigot in regard to the Jesuits.
They outlived Adams. Since Adams’ letters came toward the end of his life, it might just be that he was senile. Either way in this regard he’s irrelevant and logically a complete failure in this regard as well.
>>bigot in regard to the Jesuits.
And Francis demonstrates why the sentiments of Adams, and Jefferson, and Pascal - were accurate.
>>They outlived Adams.
Yeah, well you and your LGBTQ++ bridge builder fan club haven’t outlived this constitutional Republic yet.
“And Francis demonstrates why the sentiments of Adams, and Jefferson, and Pascal - were accurate.”
Obviously not. After all it’s 200 years misplaced and Pope Francis is NOTHING like the Jesuits of Adams’ day. You’re just revealing how out of touch you must be.
“Yeah, well you and your LGBTQ++ bridge builder fan club havent outlived this constitutional Republic yet.”
This country will die - and die horribly - as all nations do. And the Catholic Church, and probably the Jesuits as well, will long out live it. God founded the Catholic Church. Men founded the U.S.A. The U.S.A. will die. All nations do. The Church can’t and won’t.
>>Pope Francis is NOTHING like the Jesuits of Adams day.
Ba’alshyte, Comrade.
Adams and Jefferson were RIGHT ON TARGET. Especially when they prohibited your LGBTQ++ Bridge-builder club from using state-established powers to assume dominion over the faith of others.
How’s things working out down on deforested Jesuit human Cattle (big C) farm in Paraguay these days?

>>The Church cant and wont.
Christ’s church is the body of ALL who He has saved by grace , who share in His victorious resurrection — Not the covetous and syncretic abomination of nature at Unuch-Candle-Peddlers-R-Us that Pope Franky, oozing out of Ba’al in the spirit of anti-Christ, is perched on top of.
Got Romans chapter 1 Comrade Bridge worshiper?
There is nothing new under the Aten.
>>They were highly educated and so good at education that even Protestants chose to have their children educated by them.

Da, Comrade!
I realize you’re unable to talk about anything substantial since you apparently know little and seem so desperate to make some sort of point - whatever that might happen to be. You’re now even going back to old posts - which is a sign of desperation.
Since that is the case, I, for your own good, will simply ignore your posts from here on out. Get the help you need.
Oh, and one more thing - and this will not only serve as my last word on the subject here but will truly be the last word on the subject in general even if you continue to post since it is about the future long after we may both be gone:
This country will die - and die horribly - as all nations do. And the Catholic Church, and probably the Jesuits as well, will long out live it. God founded the Catholic Church. Men founded the U.S.A. The U.S.A. will die. All nations do. The Catholic Church cant and wont.
psy·cho·sissīˈkōsəs/noun
a severe mental disorder in which thought and emotions are so impaired that contact is lost with external reality. [The Architects of Western Decline: A Study on the Frankfurt School and Cultural Marxism]
"According to my opinion, and the opinions of many defectors of my caliber, only about 15% of time, money, and manpower is spent on espionage as such. The other 85% is a slow process which we call either ideological subversion, active measures, or psychological warfare. What it basically means is: to change the perception of reality of every American that despite of the abundance of information no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interest of defending themselves, their families, their community, and their country.It's a great brainwashing process which goes very slow and is divided into four basic stages.The first stage being "demoralization".It takes from 15 to 20 years to demoralize a nation. Why that many years? Because this is the minimum number of years required to educate one generation of students in the country of your enemy exposed to the ideology of [their] enemy. In other words, Marxism-Leninism ideology is being pumped into the soft heads of at least 3 generation of American students without being challenged or counterbalanced by the basic values of Americanism; American patriotism.Most of the activity of the department [KGB] was to compile huge amount / volume of information, on individuals who were instrumental in creating public opinion. Publisher, editors, journalists, uh actors, educationalists, professors of political science. Members of parliament, representatives of business circles.Most of these people were divided roughly into two groups: those who would tow the Soviet foreign policy, they would be promoted to positions of power through media and public manipulation; [and] those who refuse the Soviet influence in their own country would be character assassinated OR executed physically, come Revolution.

"...who, being themselves but fallible and uninspired men, have assumed dominion over the faith of others, setting up their own opinions and modes of thinking as the only true and infallible, and as such endeavoring to impose them on others, hath established and maintained false religions over the greatest part of the world, and through all time;...that it is time enough for the rightful purposes of civil government, for its officers to interfere when principles break out into overt acts against peace and good order; and finally, that truth is great and will prevail if left to herself, that she is the proper and sufficient antagonist to error, and has nothing to fear from the conflict, unless by human interposition disarmed of her natural weapons, free argument and debate, errors ceasing to be dangerous when it is permitted freely to contradict them.
