WASHINGTON, D.C. – For the second consecutive session, Jesuit-educated alumni compose 10% of Congress. Among the 535 members of the 116th United States Congress, 55 graduated from Jesuit institutions: 12 in the Senate and 43 in the House of Representatives.
Of the 55 alumni/ae in the 116th U.S. Congress, seven were elected in 2018: Representatives Gil Cisneros (D-CA, M.B.A. Regis University, 2002); Greg Pence (R-IN, B.A. Loyola University Chicago, 1979; M.B.A. Loyola University Chicago, 1983); Mikie Sherrill (D-NJ, J.D. Georgetown University, 2007); Xochitl Torres Small (D-NM, B.A. Georgetown University, 2007); Greg Stanton (D-AZ, B.A. Marquette University, 1992); Bryan Steil (R-WI, B.S. Georgetown University, 2003); and Lori Trahan (D-MA, B.A. Georgetown University, 1995).
Twelve Jesuit institutions are currently represented by alumni in the 116th U.S. Congress. Georgetown University has the most with a total of 28, followed by Boston College and Fordham University, each with 6 (note: Representative Tom Suozzi (D-NY) is an alumnus of both Boston College and Fordham; Representative Rosa DeLauro is an alumna of Marymount College, which was later incorporated by Fordham University). The College of the Holy Cross has 3 alumni while Loyola University Chicago, Marquette University, Saint Peter’s University, Santa Clara University and the University of Detroit Mercy all have two alumni represented. The remaining schools with an alum in Congress are Creighton University, Gonzaga University and Regis University.
Jesuit-educated members are well-represented in leadership positions in both the Senate and the House. In the Senate, Senator John Barrasso (R-WY, Georgetown) serves as chairman of the Senate Republican Conference, while Senator Richard Durbin (D-IL, Georgetown) serves as Minority Whip. In the House, Representative Steny Hoyer (D-MD, Georgetown) serves as Majority Leader and Representative Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY, Georgetown) serves as chair of the House Democratic Caucus.

For the good of the Church, the Jesuit order should be disbanded.
By their fruits you shall know them.
Amen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Traitors all.
And the whole entertainment media world is looking for a Masonic connection to everything...
Not good!
Catholicism that is not under the direct control of the Jesuits is already merely benevolent arm-dressing for the Jesuits.
If it came to pushing and shoving, the Jesuits would sooner (and have ample power to) disband everything about Catholicism that wasn’t committed to the Jesuits.
Not a strong endorsement for the Jesuits with all those liberal SJWS.
As if this is a good thing???
FWIW, Our worthless outgoing governor, Jerry Brown is a failed Jesuit. He was kicked out of the order while studying to be a Jesuit Priest.
I guess I’m an exception to the rule.....Loyola University Los Angeles, aka Loyola Marymount. Another Jesuit institution.
But I’m to the right of the late great Senator Jesse Helms.
10% too high.
Since Pope Francis is a Jesuit I would say it all is under direct control.
Francis saying Trump is not a Christian is humorous. It's as if the emperor has no clothes.
“You haven’t noticed an unprecedented amount of dissent to Francis’ activities and pronouncements in the last several years? “
Not being Catholic, no, I’m afraid I haven’t because I don’t follow Catholic news that closely. I do read the comments of Catholics on this forum and have see a lot of disgust from some on the things this Pope is saying and doing. I certainly concur with them as what this Pope is saying and doing has an effect on everyone, even non-Catholics.
I am hearing of things about the Pope and the Catholic church that are even more disturbing than just the pedophilia going on. I think Revelation is one of the most important books in the Bible and if these things turn out to be proven true, we will see prophecy fulfilled, unfortunately.
I wish someone Catholic would explain the Papal Audience Hall in the Vatican to me.
