Have you read Willa Cather's, "Death comes to the Archbishop" ? If I may ask, what do you mean by "how debased it has become" ?

Excellent book. I read an article years back that said the Jesuits made a pivotal mistake when they abandoned traditional theology and took up with modernism. This article mentioned a particular person as being the linchpin of this turnaround in Jesuit theology/philosophy. I cannot for the life of me remember if it was a theologian, a philosopher or a leader of some kind within the Jesuit community. Nor can I recall his name or which publication I read the article in.

Modernism was greatly influenced by the pragmatism of W.
James and in Intuitionism of H.Bergson. Or could it be
von Hugel (cleric) that you couldn't recall? Can you
recollect the general time frame to which the article
referred?
