There will not be one Jesuit left in America by 2040


So carry on as before is not the answer here nor for the Jesuits worldwide, nor in Germany. But thats what the Germans and the Jesuits have chosen to do with the elections of their new Chairman and General respectively. I thought Vatican II meant that the Church was able to discern the signs of the times.

Tomorrow is the Feast of St Ignatius- click on the Jesuit tab below for more evidence that the modern Jesuits would shame their founder, rather than be his glory.



Vatican II said that orders should rediscover the spirit of their Founder and live less by their respective rules- as if there could be a distinction. Strange then that the Jesuits since the Council have certainly lived well away from St Ignatius.

Very funny. Given how Holy Cross, the Jesuit college across town here in Worcester, MA is run, that wouldn't be such a bad thing. Maybe the SSPX could take over (do we even dare to dream it!)

Just as with Roman Catholic Priests in America, and spiritual sisters, and brothers in America, they will have their down time, and then will come back slowly. Just because a prediction is put out, doesn't mean it's right. Keep faith, don't trust fully the predictions, and know that the Lord will provide

Haven't you heard that the diocesean priests in the United States is on the rise, so why can't the Jesuits come back. Here in Washington, Seattle U. is doing fine, and just because a prediction says so, doesn't mean it's right, just look at our economy.

Does this means my blog days will be over in 32 years?

Gillibrand, there will be no Jebbies in the US by 2040?

Do you promise?

Or are you just saying that to make me feel better?
