IN the NEWS - Gonzaga: Sick any way you spin it

 But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the LORD exceedingly.
Genesis 13:13


"The Jesuit order for decades used Gonzaga University’s campus to house priests who had been removed from active service in the priesthood due to accusations of sexual abuse, according to an report recently published by the Center for Investigative Reporting and republished by the Associated Press.

According to the report, the Jesuit order’s Oregon Province sent to the university at least 20 Jesuit priests who had been accused of sexual misconduct, in most cases while they were functioning in the order’s missions in isolated Alaska villages populated by indigenous people as well as Indian reservations in the northwestern U.S.
The priests were kept on the campus in a building that is called the “Cardinal Bea House,” which is situated on the Gonzaga campus but belongs to the Jesuit order itself, rather than to the university.
by the Jesuit order.
The school is so liberal that it recently blocked a proposed speaking engagement for the conservative and pro-life Jewish commentator Ben Shapiro, claiming it was concerned for the safety of “vulnerable members of our community who may be targeted for discrimination, ridicule, or harassment by others” as a result of the appearance.
The Jesuit order, whose full name is the “Society of Jesus,”...in the last 60 years the order has embraced a far-left political and social ideology.
The order’s abandonment of Catholic doctrine in general and on sexual morality in particular is so pronounced and public that in 2008 Pope Benedict XVI publicly called upon the order’s members to reaffirm their “total adhesion to Catholic doctrine,” and specifically mentioned the Church’s teachings on “sexual morality.”
The 20 priests who stayed at the house represented only a fraction of the total number of priests accused of sexual abuse in the Oregon Province, which reportedly totaled 92, far more than any other province of the Jesuit order.
The Jesuits claim that they removed all abusive priests from the Cardinal Bea House by 2016, moving them to the Sacred Heart Jesuit Center in Los Gatos, California. However, even that move has resulted in a lawsuit after a Jesuit who had been an abuse victim and was living at the Sacred Heart Center was not permitted a transfer to another facility when he learned that the abusers would be living there. He reacted by committing suicide." P&P
