I received a Jesuit prep school education in Connecticut soooo long ago (class of 1964) that the Jebbies were still Catholic and still known as God's Marines. It was only when my senior homeroom teacher (Latin and English and Theology) arrived from Fordham in the New York province that the prep started going downhill morally and politically. The priest in question breezily informed us that we could avoid sexual intercourse with our paramours by substituting oral sex. My parents were not at all pleased to hear this "innovation" in Jesuit moral theology.

I retained enough of my actually Catholic moral formation to regard myself as privileged to represent more than a thousand "criminal" defendants (including Fr. Norman Weslin) in what was, in our state, mislabeled as Operation Rescue. Best work I ever did as a lawyer.

May God bless you and yours.

Our youngest daughter (rising senior in high school) wanted to go to Fordham and we visited recently. This is very disappointing news about the Jesuits. She really liked Fordham. It is out of our price range anyway, but how awful this is.

Thank you for your work defending the Oepration Rescue defendants.

This is the same order that raised up saints such as Bellarmine and Jogues - this is very upsetting news.
