OraProMe Posted June 1, 2009 Author Share Posted June 1, 2009 ha Actually I studied the life of St. Ignatius Loyala and read a lot about the Jesuit order and was like "wow this is perfect!". Intellectual, devoted to the Pope and the Sacred Heart, I could even become a teacher. But then I started speaking to a few jesuits and visited a jesuit run church and realized a lot has changed....

It's slowly but surely (I hope) turning around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just remember how angry I felt inside when he changed the wording of the Mass and the way he looked at me when I extended my tongue for communion. -sigh- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only a Vocation Director or Spiritual Director should make the call on who should or should not enter a vocation because of a disordered desire.[/quote] +J.M.J.+ yes. this. and speaking as a moderator, a gentle reminder that this is NOT the debate table. prayers for you, Ora.

Teilhard de Chardin was a Jesuit. But then, so was [url="http://www.therealpresence.org/archives/archives.htm"]Father Hardon[/url]. So, they're not all bad! I can understand being hesitant to get involved with the order, though, despite sincere interest in St. Ignatius of Loyola. A more generic way of following in the saint's footsteps is to do the Spiritual Exercises. I'll be teaching at a Jesuit school next year, and I'm looking forward to it. They have a great reputation for education, and I'm sure I can learn a lot from their model. Edited June 1, 2009 by MithLuin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
