Servant of God Fr.John Hardon was Jesuit and he was a most sound moral theologian. I hope he becomes cannonized sometime soon.

Given that you yourself cannot even remember where you read certain things , and also attribute to Jesuits what may be unfounded,and that the question comes from what some posters note as “weird “ stuff, it really sounds more like more of the same will be your answers: opinions.Those that lead you to make the question. Some based, some baseless. And a variety of them. As mine is, one among many.
Find out through a Jesuit what is in their mission,what is in their charism,and more, ask a Jesuit himself.
God bless you.

Good points, graciew. I’m sorry if I acted or spoke foolishly. I mean no offense.
 
No ,dear one ,it wasn t offensive, just advice.
Since I notice you have come to the same source that have sown doubts and questions to find the answers.
Meet a Jesuit, they are your Church.
And again may God bless you!

Another good Jesuit: The Father who exorcised the 13 year old boy The Exorcist was based off of. Father Bowden was his name?
 
And let’s not forget all the jesuits who write spiritual books read here in CAF. They are usually forgotten when people say jesuits are unorthodox.
 
Jesuits did a lot of work as undercover priests in countries like England and Mexico when the Church was being suppressed. They’d go around in disguise and in hiding, bringing the sacraments secretly to the faithful.
 
Yeah, I understand. One of my favorite Jesuits is Fr Mitch Pacwa. He has a show where he reads and propounds upon Church documents. That, and he has a wonderful sense of humor. Love him.
 
I love hearing stories like that. Reminds me of the time I took my 15 year old Lutheran niece to a Catholics bookstore and showed her a ring Rosary. I explained to her how Anglicans suppressed the Church in Ireland and how Irish Catholics would hide ring rosaries on them and pray when the English weren’t looking. In my Lutheran family, they tell stories of how the Church oppressed Europeans and that’s why they fled to America. I felt an opportunity to show her how it was the other way around.
 
Yes, but if YouTuber X makes a video about how they’re involved in some secret Masonic cabal everyone immediately forgets that and starts levelling the most absurd accusations at them. 😒😒

Mission priests did still minister to flocks in rural parts of America in the 40s and 50s, especially in the mountainous areas, but I don’t know their religious heritage, and I don’t know when that stopped, or if it has. My guess is that they were not Jesuits, but that’s strictly my guess.

The fact that some people make wild conspiracy theories does not prove, or disprove, reasonable claims by other people that the Jesuit leadership is recently much less supportive of doctrine, and uncritically accepting of the secular media ideology.

We can reject the wild conspiracy theories, while noting relevant facts, for instance that their American institutions chose not to implement St JP2’s “Ex Corde Ecclesiae”.

Yes, there are individual Jesuits who are exceptions.

That question has been asked by many in the Church for hundreds of years.
The Jesuits have accomplished some great things. It’s probably not fair, but my thought has always been, the Church lives with a little of the bad, to gain the good. They are not perfect, who is?
 
Jesuit leadership right now is most likely the same group of aging hippies that are leading most everything else. They will be replaced in time.
 
The African and Indian priests will be more traditional than St. Ignatius Loyola himself, I reckon.

I think the absence of strong lay orders hurts them in the US.
