I had 2 friends who were ethicists in 2 different medical schools in the Boston area who were sidelined and ridiculed by their colleagues because they dared to disagree... and this was in the 1990s

Please ignore the Jesuits, they are not really Catholics.
Loyala would not approve...or would would he.
