[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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 [b]the idea that the Jesuits need to do something about the morals at the all boys Jesuit schools ... not so much[/b].

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]

Now you are moving the goalposts.  You wrote above that he "strongly supported Kavanaugh."  He did not.[/quote]

He did strongly support K, then he walked it back. [b]Now he supports him again[/b].

Then... during the hearing, he posted an article about how wonderful Jesuit schools are...  when thousands of women were sharing their stories of boys from Prep and similar schools who sexually assaulted them. A man came forward telling his story that Prep lied to police about him... told the police he was troubled and a drug addict and got students to tell the police the same thing so they could not convict his teacher rapist.

It was a terrible decision to post that article at that time and when he was told that he blocked users from FB and twitter. he never apologized about that.

I support his efforts to "build a bridge" to LGBT Catholics... but he has a huge blind spot when it comes to all boy Jesuit schools and their leadership.  [/quote]

Citation please.[/quote]
