A reader asked if I had any suggestions for changing the Jesuits. The purpose of this blog is to look for ideas. I'm not smart or holy enough, the Holy People of God however have the resources to come up with proposals.
At first glance the options seem to be:
1) The suppression of the Society, which B16 will not do.
2) An intervention by the Holy See naming key superiors.
3) A hostile takeover by young orthodox Jesuits.
4) The foundation of a reformed order
5) The foundation of reformed strict observance provinces.
It would seem however that any change will take effect only if the faithful apply pressure to: individual Jesuits, Jesuit superiors, Bishops, and the Vatican. Right now it seems like the elephant in the living room that everyone ignores.
What do the readers think?

Also, there are many Masons whose alliance with the Jesuits and the Jews has never been uncovered. Why do you speak of reform when extinguishing these monsters is necessary?
I'm a fan of San Roberto Bellarmino myself. #1, why bother if it's already dead?
#2 same thing as #1
#3 I have thought of this. But who are they if underground and I can't help? #4 I have thought of this, but how, given #3? #5 I have not thought of this specifically because I think #5 = #4. I betcha we could meet easily...not far from the body. I'll be back...anonymous
I am late to this blog, but will add my comment nevertheless.
Since the Jesuit Order answers (Not!) only to the Pope, one would think that the ready solution is that Benedict 16 abolish this order entirely. Instead, on January 18, 2008, the Pope chose the feeble option of writing a letter to the Jesuit superior general, in which he politely asks that "it could prove extremely useful that the General Congregation reaffirm, in the spirit of Saint Ignatius, its own total adhesion to Catholic doctrine, in particular on those neuralgic points which today are strongly attacked by secular culture, as for example the relationship between Christ and religions; some aspects of the theology of liberation; and various points of sexual morality, especially as regards the indissolubility of marriage and the pastoral care of homosexual persons."
Does anyone think this polite letter from Benedict 16 is going to work?
In the meanwhile, the rot continues....
So, my vote is for hanging.
Since the Pope won't do anything beyond writing a letter, then my vote is for a "hostile takeover" by the good (vs. young) Jesuits. Not all young Jesuits are good, and there are good older Jesuits, such as Frs. Joseph Fessio & Mitch Pacwa. Where are these good Jesuits? And are they doing anything to reform their order?
For that matter, why is this blog discontinued? The last blog was November of last year (2007).
