It is very strange what has happened to the Jesuit order. I have read a number of books about the early days, and they were extraordinary. St. Francis Xavier, notably, but also many of the other early Jesuits.
And I have known some wonderful Jesuits in my youth. But something happened, and they went off the rails. Not the first time, of course, that a religious order has done so, and has had to be replaced by a reformed order. Indeed, Fr. Benedict Groeschel suggests in an essay that once things have gone that far, reform usually comes from outside, with a new reformed order that replaces the old one.
Sad to think. The Jesuits had a special vow of obedience to serve the Pope, and most of them now seem to break it every day.
I have known a couple of fantastic Jesuits, true to their faith and their vows.
A reform from the outside does seem like the best option now.
Guess the reformers who would come in also need lots of our prayers.
