Even though the author of Windswept house was laicised - his story is compelling. The Jesuits are rotten apples at the bottom of the barrel and need to be exorcised.

Windswept House was written by the late Fr. Malachi Martin, who had been ordained as a Jesuit. He was not laicized but rather was released from the Jesuit Order by Pope Paul VI so that Fr. Martin could be free of the Jebbie bureaucracy in his work to explain what had happened to the Church and to the Jesuits. To be laicized is to be returned from the priesthood to a lay (non-clerical) status. Fr. Martin was a priest to the day of his death and, according to Catholic doctrine, a priest forever because his soul was marked eternally by his receipt of the Sacrament of Holy Orders. He was able to the end to say Mass and to consecrate the Holy Eucharist.

At the very least! Personally, I think the Jesuits ought to be suppressed as an order. After all, there ARE precedents! ;-) And there are far better grounds THIS time...
