pretty completely smacked down by the Vatican. When Drinan was called back from his Congressional seat, the whip was already coming down.

The Jesuit order of today is, alas, quite different from the one under which I grew up. I am still their biggest fan, and I'll never be able to thank them adequately for all that they gave me, but they've been defanged in the worst ways by this fucking Vatican.

Benedict, in the job he held before he became Pope, was the big reason behind the corralling and silencing of the Jesuits.

But, there are no better teachers anywhere.
