Let’s hope that Fr Adolfo Nicolás doesn’t resemble Fr. Arrupe too closely, even though he is said to represent his legacy. Frankly, Fr. Arrupe was a disaster, who permitted, or possibly encouraged, the Jesuits to go further and further into dissent and (apparently) homosexuality.

The Order has been decaying for decades, growing smaller and smaller and further and further from its former loyalty to the Church.

This may be the last chance to turn it around, if it isn’t already too late. Pray that they chose the right man for the job.

‘The question is how to give the Ignatian experience to a Buddhist’, he says. ‘Not maybe formulated in Christian terms, which is what Ignatius asked, but to go to the core of the experience.

Sorry, but Ignatius and the "Ignatian experience" were all about Christ and being a Christian.

If the good Fr. Nicolas wants to be a Zen master, he should go off and do it on his own dime and leave the Jesuits to get back to following Christ.
