PopeWatch: Jesuit Handwaving

'Contemporary Jesuits have cornered the market on intellectual dishonesty.' Oh, I don't know. Is Dan Horan, OFM an honorary Jesuit?

Contemporary Jesuits have cornered the market on intellectual dishonesty.  From America’s, the Jesuit rag not the nation, podcast:

But how closely did Pope Francis examine the document? This week on “Inside the Vatican,” America’s Rome correspondent Gerard O’Connell reveals that the document was drafted by a smaller group of people than would ordinarily be involved in writing this type of statement and that Pope Francis reviewed it just before his Iraq trip.

While it is unclear how much attention Pope Francis gave the document, Gerry says that it is significant that the document said the pope was “informed” and “assented to its publication,” a more hesitant phrasing than “approved” and “ordered its publication,” the terms the Vatican normally uses.

On this week’s show, Julia Erdlen, a Boston College graduate student in theology who identifies as queer, shares her reaction to the new document on blessing gay unions.

Go here to look at the rest if you must.  PopeWatch must give the Jesuits an A for honesty however.  Only the dimmest of the dim could not conclude that the contemporary Jesuit order, with a few honorable exceptions, are as Leftist as they are heterodox.  Once upon a time the Jesuits converted the rich and powerful to the doctrines of the Church.  Now they seek to convert the doctrines of the Church to what the rich and powerful chattering classes of the West desire.  Judas was a faithful follower of Christ in comparison to these apostate sons of Saint Ignatius Loyola.
