Yep, Jesuits have nothing to do with the Catholic Church. It's not like the Pope is a Jesuit....

You are correct that the Pope continues to have warm feelings for the Jesuit order, and he does seem to continue to honor his vow of poverty to the best of his abilities, but in fact he is no longer technically a Jesuit. He probably continues to think of himself as a Jesuit, but he no longer signs his name with an S.J. at the end, as all Jesuits do.

With that being said, this article is about a liberal college professor using his position to indoctrinate students. I explained why the headline was unfortunate. If you choose to hate on the Catholic Church, that is your right, but it is irrelevant to this thread. So please take it somewhere else.

If you don't want discussion, post it as a Caucus thread in Religion.

Post in News, and take free and open discussion. Or, in other words, perhaps YOU should have taken it somewhere else.

CHAPTER VII.

RELIGIOUS RAISED TO THE EPISCOPATE

Can. 705 A religious raised to the episcopate remains a member of his institute but is subject only to the Roman Pontiff by virtue of the vow of obedience and is not bound by obligations which he himself prudently judges cannot be reconciled with his condition.
