[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He like most people has some things right and some things wrong.

His work to build a bridge the lgbt community is very good but he plays it very safe.

He wrote this book.... https://www.amazon.com/Building-Bridge-Relationship-Compassion-Sensitivity/dp/0062694316

He is Jesuit ... so is Prep... [b]he strongly supported Kavanaugh[/b].  He blocked anybody that had anything intelligent to say about their negative interactions with boys that attended various Jesuit all boy schools. He blocks trolls ... that make sense but anybody that had a negative comment.???

He lost a lot of followers and lots of credibility.

He also is the editor of the American magazine.

Follow him on twitter or Facebook and decide for yourself.[/quote]

He supported Kavanaugh until Dr. Blasey testified, at which time America Magazine (he is the editor at large) and the Jesuits withdrew their support.

Yes for the nomination.

But the idea that the Jesuits need to do something about the morals at the all boys Jesuit schools ... not so much.

I’m not in the position to find the article but right after dr. Fords testimony there was an article about there is nothing wrong with the all boys Jesuit school.. never have been.

Renata would disagree.[/quote]

I haven’t read his stuff and I’m personally not a fan of single sex education.  But I will say that I went to a lot of guys in college who went to Jesuit schools and they aren’t all the same.  The guys from Regis high school in New York were all really nice.  I know Regis gives a ton of scholarships to working class New Yorkers and also doesn’t seem to have the sports culture of a place like GP.  I think the privilege of the kids attending, and the emphasis placed on things like sports, affects the culture of the school a lot.  [/quote]
