Gay Jesuit candidate attacks 'ideological militants'
Sometimes, the homosexual subculture in the Church and among the clergy isn't content to slink in the shadows. Sometimes, it narcissistically demands center stage, and it seizes the limelight with a ferocity that is best viewed as an upside-down parody of what true virtue really is. One would be hard-pressed to find a more complete example of this kind of unintended parody than in the social media presence of Jesuit order candidate R. Jay Pearson.
Jay Pearson is as proudly and publicly "gay" as one can be.
"My name is Jay, I am a Greek Byzantine Catholic, I'm a candidate to become a Jesuit and I'm gay."
He has a YouTube channel; and he is on Twitter and Facebook. In a decidedly awkward turn of phrase, Jay posts his social media content under the handle of "Jay of Proceeding" based on the St. Ignatius-inspired "way of proceeding."
Sadly, Jay has truly lost his way, and he's "proceeding" on a journey of falsehood and risk. As a candidate for the Western Province of the Society of Jesus (though he has not stated yet whether as a future priest or future brother), Jay Pearson is an animated example of a misled soul who believes that being "gay" and being "out" means true freedom.
Jay has gone uber-public about all this in part to "speak out against some bishops as well as those among the ideological militants in the Church who are attempting to blame gay priests specifically and homosexuality generally for the sexual abuse crisis." Jay vigorously attacks the "scapegoating" of homosexual clergy he believes has been perpetrated by bishops like the late Bishop Robert Morlino of Madison, Wisconsin and Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò.

Being gay actually qualifies him to be a Jesuit.
Yup! Years ago a Jesuit told me that there was a fight within the Jesuit Order between the “Straights” and the “Gays” as to who would control. No doubt in my mind what the outcome is!
Hot and cold running altar boys. No wonder he wants in.

I recall visiting a ‘theology on tap’ at some bar in Boston perhaps 20 years ago. One priest on the stage joked to another priest something about a Jesuit at Boston College: “ they aren’t all marxists and homosexuals.’
But being a Jesuit doesn’t qualify him to be a Christian. He’s a homosexual, first, second and last.
At my Jesuit University in the 90’s, I’d have to guess at least 30% of them were gay.
Ha. Being a self-obsessed drama queen qualifies him as objectively disordered.
The great majority of priests at my Catholic high school were gay. We learned to never go to the rectory alone or ever be alone with any of them.
Step One: Learn to read.
Step Two: Read the Bible.
Jesus says: Go and sin no more, not, Go and sin some more.
In this context, “ideological militant” can only mean “bible believing Christian”
Does he paint soup cans?
