INDIANAPOLIS, Indiana - A Jesuit high school that the Indianapolis Archdiocese no longer recognizes as Catholic because it refused to fire a teacher in a same-sex marriage says it’s appealing that decision to the Vatican.
Brebeuf Preparatory School President Father Bill Verbryke sent a letter to the school community Sunday saying the head of the Jesuits’ Midwest Province has asked the Congregation for Catholic Education in Rome to overrule a decree issued by Archbishop Charles Thompson in June saying the school “will no longer be identified or recognized” as Catholic.
“In the end, we hope that the decree is overruled; if that does not occur, we have asked for additional clarity as to the legitimate effects of the Archbishop’s decree on the sacramental life of Brebeuf Jesuit,” the letter said. “We do not have a timeline for how long the appeal process will take, but please be assured that we are making every effort to resolve our disagreement with the Archbishop and resume the strong relationship we have enjoyed with the Archdiocese for the past 57 years.”
Verbryke also says Thompson will allow himself and another Brebeuf priest to celebrate daily Mass in the school chapel before classes start but won’t permit other Masses during the upcoming school year.

The Jesuits have morphed from the Army of Christ into the Army of Satan.
Some of the traditional Jesuits that showed me the way of God at University of Detroit High School back in the 1960’s are certainly spinning in their graves.
A Jesuit I remained in contact with since the early 1950’s told me 20+ years ago that there was a battle within the Order between the “straights” and “gays” for control.
No doubt who won!

Yes, very sad. Jesuits were once referred to as “God’s Marines”, and now they work for the other side.
Jesus says this requires prayer and fasting. If HE fasted, we’d better believe we need to fast.
Anyone taking bets on which way Frankie is gonna rule?
