" In light of Ignatius' 'Two Standards' and 'The Mystries Done From The Garden To The House Of Annas', at any moment we can be Judas or Peter, a Christian life can be a fine line."

Some Say Potato, Some Say Po-ta-toe
The Superior General of the Society of Jesus, Adolfo Nicolas, S.J. recently spoke about Liberation Theology. Some say "Courageous" and some say "No confidence".
What do you expect when the Jesuits elected a clapped out wreck like Nicolas as a stop-gap until the beginning of a new papacy? The iron shackles of the 1970s seem unbreakable and that is why the Society of Jesus is slowly destined for extinction. Where will it be in fifty years time? If anywhere, a residual wreck.
I am not a Jesuit, nor am I a cleric. I spent about 5 years under the spiritual direction of a Jesuit, 3 of those years in a weekly directed retreat in everyday life. The profound impact that the Society and the Excercises had upon my life, resulted in me, trying to deal with that impact in some way by sharing my view of Jesus Christ with others. My intention is to pull together Jesuitical and Catholic subjects that interest me. I was born on the feast day of St. Paul Miki, S.J.. I am the father of three small children and an infant, I am married to a great wife.

Some say religion; and others say BUNCH OF TWO FACED GUTLESS IDIOTS ADDICTED TO FAIRY TALES.
What is your point?
