These aren’t actually Catholic colleges. The fact that they are still allowed to remain affiliated should be considered a heresy in itself.

Where does that leave Catholicism, given the current (Jesuit) pope?

The current Jesuit Pope was taught long, long before the Jesuits disgraced themselves with their irreligious teaching.

Those were my thoughts exactly. It’s good the Catholic Church is so undivided isn’t it? This pope fits end time prophecy very well.

There is a spectrum of orthodoxy among Jesuit priests. There are some very solid ones. Fr. Mitch Pacwa of EWTN is one, for example -- he was a friend of Walter Martin's. The late Fr. John Hardon, who was one of the most orthodox and solid American Catholic thinkers of the last century, was another.

American Jesuit colleges, on the other hand, go from sort of okay, to bad, to awful. (BC is in the bad to awful range.)

Most of them sold their soul to big time athletics a long time ago, and are Catholic only as an afterthought. I've personally heard Peter Kreeft joke that the difference between Franciscan U of Steubenville and BC is that "BC is a Jesuit college, and Franciscan is a Catholic college".

Somewhat ahead of the Congregationalists who founded Harvard and Yale, the Anglicans who founded Columbia, the Presbyterians who founded Princeton ...
