Fordham and Georgetown are Jesuit run. I'm not sure of Notre Dame and CUA. But aren't these Universities under the authority of the Jesuits and not the local ordinaries? And aren't the Jesuits only under the authority of their own order and the Pope? IMO, the Pope needs to squash the Jesuits big time. Same with all the other orders. These guys are really getting away with murder(first degree heresy).

I'm researching the Jesuit fathers in North America now for work. It's absolutely appalling to see how far that once magnificent order has decayed. They've gone from being willing to suffer the most horrible tortures for the Faith, to a group of swishy, limp-wristed, haters of the Catholic Church.

Perhaps we should pray to St. Isaac Jogues for a swift and thorough purge of his now-derelict order. May the intecession of St. Isaac lead to the installation of Father Fessio as general of the order.

How about turning their schools over to the Legionnaires? Wouldn't that be fun?

The way I understand ex corde ecclesia, the mandatum is to be issued by the local ordinary in whose territory any university is found. The practices and whatnot of the University may be under the jurisdiction of the orders, but the right to present oneself as a "Catholic theologian" is reserved for review by the local ordinary.
