While these pro-choice groups must certainly be shut down; I question the wisdom of letting TFP leading the charge…

I much prefer Priests for Life, the Jesuits, or USCCB lead the charge… Or better yet the individual diocesan bishops… Certainly not Tradition, Family, Property…

Look at this silly and ludicrous article about the decline of decorative hats… tfp.org/tfp-home/fighting-for-our-culture/the-hat-ii.html

Quite an about-face you’re suggesting there. 😛 A real 180!

It is a 180 if the good future generation Jesuits become in charge. or else it’s the same thing–because I know at least 3 of the 6 schools ARE Jesuit. 😦

Actually 5/6: Seattle, Santa Clara, Fordham, Georgetown, and Boston College are all Jesuit schools. De Paul University is the largest ‘Catholic’ college in America, but associated with a different religious group.

To be honest with you, I wouldn’t count on anything. The theme these schools have in common is that they are now thoroughly well-known schools, to some degree, and don’t have to rely on their Catholic heritage or identity to bolster admissions.

Hopefully, these ‘good, new’ Jesuits are intellectual and administrative supermen, on top of being orthodox Catholics.

The Jesuits have ‘progressively’ … pardon the pun… divested themselves of their institutional works (ex: colleges), and are now no longer call the shots. If you’re in the process of a Jesuit vocation, you can’t even get a guaranteed shot at a teaching position at one of the former ‘Jesuit’ schools–you have to apply with everyone else. No wonder why you no longer see Jesuits teaching at ‘Jesuit’ schools!

…and that’s how the cookie crumbles. The Jesuit schools surrendered their Catholicism at the height of their strength.

Since all of these fine institutions are founded by religious groups and still, to varying degrees, connected to the Church via the religious group that founded them, I’m not sure the relevant diocesan bishops have a say.

Good luck petitioning their superiors about it, though, I’ll bet its as accessible and easy as petitioning the Wizard of Oz for munchkin equality.
 
We should not argue in favor of our limitations. a man that does not ask for miraclles is a man that does not get miracles.

Just pointing it out that the bishop prob couldn’t do something even if he wanted! 'Nd in some places here, that’s a BIG 'if!
