From reading that, it's hard to believe the number of Jesuits has been reduced by two-thirds since 1965. They're so open-minded!

Honestly, given the spiritual poverty suffered by Americans, and the west in general, it is hard to fathom how the Jesuits can assign their brightest minds to these kinds of frivolous activities.
I don't think St. Ignatius of Loyola would be pleased at all.
