The Jesuits in America don’t have a great reputation when it comes to orthodoxy. Especially when you look at a place like Notre Dame.

This guy, however, really embodies the spirit of Ignatius of Loyola and choosing Francis is a very hopeful thing indeed. Francis is my personal favorite saint. He was a diligent reformer while being humble and obedient at the same time.

Our Holy Father’s history shows that he follows the same path. Doctrinally sound, not afraid to confront those forces who wish to sweep the Church’s teachings aside and yet constantly reaching out.
For those who like to focus and point out who is going to hell for what, they will not like him. Jesuits teach forgiveness for those who are truly sorry for there sinners rather than constantly condemning sinners, as we are all sinners everyday.

What has been going on with the Catholic church in the last several years hasn’t been working, maybe that is why the Cardinals, inspired by God, made this decision.😉
 
Vive Il Papa!

I don’t know as much as I should about the main tenets of jesuits. Can someone fill me in, briefly.
 
Yes! I am a Boston College alum (Jesuits) and yes the Jesuits are my favorite!!!

This should interesting!
Before law school, I studied for my Master’s Degree at John Carroll University (Jesuit). They were fairly conservative in my experience. Since those days, I’ve heard the Jesuits have taken a left turn in ideology. True?
 
Te Deum laudamus: te Dominum confitemur.
Te aeternum Patrem omnis terra veneratur.
Tibi omnes Angeli; tibi caeli et universae Potestates;
Tibi Cherubim et Seraphim incessabili voce proclamant:
Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus, Dominus Deus Sabaoth.
Pleni sunt caeli et terra maiestatis gloriae tuae.
Te gloriosus Apostolorum chorus,
Te Prophetarum laudabilis numerus,
Te Martyrum candidatus laudat exercitus.
Te per orbem terrarum sancta confitetur Ecclesia,
Patrem immensae maiestatis:
Venerandum tuum verum et unicum Filium;
Sanctum quoque Paraclitum Spiritum.
Tu Rex gloriae, Christe.
Tu Patris sempiternus es Filius.
Tu ad liberandum suscepturus hominem, non horruisti Virginis uterum.
Tu, devicto mortis aculeo, aperuisti credentibus regna caelorum.
Tu ad dexteram Dei sedes, in gloria Patris.
Iudex crederis esse venturus.
Te ergo quaesumus, tuis famulis subveni: quos pretioso sanguine redemisti.
Aeterna fac cum sanctis tuis in gloria numerari.

V. Salvum fac populum tuum, Domine, et benedic hereditati tuae.
R. Et rege eos, et extolle illos usque in aeternum.

V. Per singulos dies benedicimus te.
R. Et laudamus nomen tuum in saeculum, et in saeculum saeculi.

V. Dignare, Domine, die isto sine peccato nos custodire.
R. Miserere nostri, Domine, miserere nostri.

V. Fiat misericordia tua, Domine, super nos, quemadmodum speravimus in te.
R. In te, Domine, speravi: non confundar in aeternum.



O God, we praise Thee, and acknowledge Thee to be the supreme Lord.
Everlasting Father, all the earth worships Thee.
All the Angels, the heavens and all angelic powers,
All the Cherubim and Seraphim, continuously cry to Thee:
Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of Hosts!
Heaven and earth are full of the Majesty of Thy glory.
The glorious choir of the Apostles,
The wonderful company of Prophets,
The white-robed army of Martyrs, praise Thee.
Holy Church throughout the world acknowledges Thee:
The Father of infinite Majesty;
Thy adorable, true and only Son;
Also the Holy Spirit, the Comforter.
O Christ, Thou art the King of glory!
Thou art the everlasting Son of the Father.
When Thou tookest it upon Thyself to deliver man,
Thou didst not disdain the Virgin’s womb.
Having overcome the sting of death, Thou opened the Kingdom of Heaven to all
believers.
Thou sitest at the right hand of God in the glory of the Father.
We believe that Thou willst come to be our Judge.
We, therefore, beg Thee to help Thy servants whom Thou hast redeemed with Thy
Precious Blood.
Let them be numbered with Thy Saints in everlasting glory.

V. Save Thy people, O Lord, and bless Thy inheritance!
R. Govern them, and raise them up forever.

V. Every day we thank Thee.
R. And we praise Thy Name forever, yes, forever and ever.

V. O Lord, deign to keep us from sin this day.
R. Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us.

V. Let Thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us, for we have hoped in Thee.
R. O Lord, in Thee I have put my trust; let me never be put to shame
Amen. :gopray2:
 
Good to hear how Conservative he is. I wonder, how forceful of a spokesman is he - does anyone know?
‎"Let’s not be naive, we’re not talking about a simple political battle; it is a destructive pretension against the plan of God. We are not talking about a mere bill, but rather a machination of the Father of Lies that seeks to confuse and deceive the children of God."

-Cardinal Bergologio (now Pope Francis) in opposition to a bill to redefine marriage in Argentina in 2010.

I cant wait to see the sweaters with a number 1 on the back with Francis like the Benedict ones 😛
 
For those who like to focus and point out who is going to hell for what, they will not like him. Jesuits teach forgiveness for those who are truly sorry for there sinners rather than constantly condemning sinners, as we are all sinners everyday.
I just hope he can combat the straying from church doctrine that we’ve seen in the developed nations. I have good hopes, but also some doubts. Just going to have to learn more about him as the next few weeks go by.
 
Whoo! Super excited!

I do try to remind people that he is half Italian, so we’re halfway back to having Italian Popes again. 😃
 
I don’t know about the name though. Our miscarried child we named Francis, and just hearing the name is painful. Selfish I know.
Unrelated to the Pope, but we did too. I like the name though, shows we had good taste 🙂
 
A Jesuit Pope taking the name Francis – how cool is that!!

I saw an online story that referred to St Francis as “the founder of monasticism” while one of the talking heads on TV declaimed “Forty percent of all Catholics – one in four – live in South America”. Huh?

Qy: In his address asking prayers of Benedict XVI, did His Holiness refer to him as “our Bishop emeritus”?
To answer your question as best I can, no. He said Pope, but I could not hear the rest, as the news people started talking over him.
