I graduated in 1994 from the Jesuit University of San Francisco (USF), a school drenched in the heresy and scandal that have come to define the modern Jesuit order. I can still remember my first day at the school. It was “condom day,” an absurd campus-wide distribution of condoms that the Jesuit president and Jesuit professors blithely accepted. I had gone to USF not because of the modern Jesuits but in spite of them. In spite of its many problems, USF attracted students like me by offering a Great Books program called the St. Ignatius Institute in place of its appallingly bad general curriculum. (Not long after I graduated, the St. Ignatius Institute fell into the hands of destructive liberals.)
My exposure to the rot of the modern Jesuits left a profound influence on me and made me very skeptical of Jorge Bergoglio, the first Jesuit pope, from the moment of his papal election. He reminded me too much of all the flakes who had bedeviled and ruined the curriculum and campus life at USF. That he came from Latin America, which is home to the most radical Jesuits in the world, made him even more suspicious in my eyes. The pompous egghead George Weigel claimed that Bergoglio came from the “good” side of the modern Jesuits. But that struck me as obvious BS. Has Weigel, by the way, ever apologized for that nonsense? If he has, I missed it. These days I see him pontificating about the glories of the failed council of Vatican II, which is yet another gaslighting and nonsensical claim.

Corrected: The first Jesuit antipope should be the last Jesuit to get that close to the Vicarship of Christ.
I am praying Vigano will be our next Popem
Sorry Popem = Pope.
Frank is not the pope. He is the anti-pope. He was not legitimately elected. Dig a bit and the truth will set you free. And stop picking on the Jebbies, at least they’re consistent when they celebrate Mass…two things never change…the bread and the wine.
Frank is not the pope. He is the anti-pope.

I call him the black pope.
Now that Benedict the XVI has died, we need to elect a new Pope.
AMEN!!!!! I was SICKENED when they announced his as Pope and a Jesuit....my heart sunk!
Whoever is elected as the next Pope needs to take this in a whole new direction; the loss of faith at higher levels has led to empty churches and an ageing Catholic population.
If this is the goal, then elect another Red Frankie...
I suspect he’ll be canonized shortly after his death; just a hunch (so they can pretend the papacy was a success rather than the miserable failure it is).
During his tenure, Francis has appointed Cardinals who are so-called 'progressive' and who agree with his agenda/theology. I've read that there are a scant few traditional Catholic Cardinals in the College of Cardinals. If true, it would be highly unlikely that they would vote for Vigano.
That’s the same term used to describe the superior general of the Jesuits because he wore a black cassock and had just as much power as the pope for many decades.
