I’m thinking that this priest is on the right track for the Jesuits.
Even some of the followers of Jesus left when the teaching was too hard for them. We shall see if some Jesuits, too, leave, because the teaching will be too hard for them.
What was it in the article that gives you this impression?
I hope I’m wrong, but I’ve been reading the Spanish press this morning and the liberals are ecstatic. They believe Fr. Nicolas is the spiritual heir of Arrupe and will “take on the Vatican.” He is apparently less abrasive in his manner, which is why he has been able to maintain a low profile for so long, but now Spanish commentators are saying he was considered the most “progressive” candidate the Jesuits could have chosen.
Judging from what he has written, he is a syncretist, one-world-religion type of guy, like many clergy in the Asian church, and of course socially left-wing, although without being into armed revolution like his Latin American “liberation theology” Jesuit peers. We shall see, but it certainly doesn’t look good right now.
