If I became one, I would try to change the Order for the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totus Tuus Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 That may be a good thing- getting info. It will give you an idea of where the Order is headed at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jgirl Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 Eddie, The Jesuits are getting way better. Google the bios of the novitiate. One of the guys fromt he youth group I worked with entered the St. louis province right out of high school in 2003. I know of a few from Steubenville who have entered recently, too, so don't knock them before you get to know them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piccoli Fiori JMJ Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 I've met some pretty good Jesuits... I think my concerns with one Mass held that I shared with my spiritual director was shared with the Jesuit Priest celebrating and the next Mass he did was awesome. Either that or it was the fact that his family was there (Including his mom) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read an article about a Sister in charge of one community who is? Liberal is a tame word to describe her. I don't imagine that every nun in the monastery feels the same way. I like your last line. St. Theresa of Avila did it for the Carmelite Order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totus Tuus Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 I know a couple of GREAT Jesuits personally. I have heard a saying that I totally agree with: Jesuits can be the best priests you've ever met. But if they're not great, they're usually pretty... not-good.

PadrePioOfPietrelcino Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 i think I sinned too then. Only my Parish Priest encouraged me to do it. I know several good jesuits personally too. and let's not forget the Fr. Mitch Pacwa is a jesuit, and I don't think we can call him a liberal. saying that the jesuits are all bad is like saying and entire dioces is bad because of a couple of priest.

EcceNovaFacioOmni Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 One of the cool things about the Jesuits is that they will put whatever college degree or career training you have to good use. There are lawyer Jesuits, even astronomer Jesuits. The Vatican has an observatory staffed by Jesuits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Let's not forget Fr. Joseph Fessio and the late Fr. John Hardon! You can't get more orthodox than them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
