The Jesuits

[Robbie_James_Francis]

Everything I hear about the Society nowadays seems to suggest that many have fallen into heresy. Is this correct?

Saint Ignatius of Loyola pray for us!

There are many who teach things that are... to put it gently... unorthodox.

My general experience with Jesuits (and I've had quite a few) is that they're either really, really good at spreading and teaching the faith or they're really, really bad at it.

a really really good one is Fr. Mitch on EWTN

As a part of my road to rome i hung out at Gonzaga U. in Spokane. at the time a very liberal Jesuit U. Now they have a very Conservative President. Anyway my experience what that however "liberal" they were they truely loved JESUS!!

I know most people think liberal Jesuits are a bad thing, but something it can be good. My husband, baptized Episcopalian but unchurched, went to a liberal Jesuit high school. he got a great education and loved his teachers, even attended religion classes taught by a Jesuit. As a result, while he thinks conservative Evangelicals are nuts, he tends to think all Catholics are tolerant, compassionate and not so wacky. In fact, while he was uncomfortable when I started going to the non-denom church, he was relieved when I decided to go back to the Catholic Church.

I have to admit, every time I hear the name Jesuit, I get an instant GAG reflex, I know it's bad, like a cat, I want to hiss.
I know that not all Jesuit Priests are bad, I need to pray more for them and get over it.

I believe John Paul the Great had appointed a Jesuit as a cardinal? I don't think he would have done so if he thought he was unorthodox.

My boyfriend goes to a Jesuit University... University of Scranton. And he's also a very conservative and devout Catholic, yet he's never had anything bad to say about a Jesuit. I guess it depends on the priest and what the priest teaches.

There are a few of them, yes. Believe me, not all Jesuits are alike.

My church is run by the Jesuits and I have no problem with any of the priests.
