Crisis: New Ways Ministry’s “Fr. James Martin Effect” by Deacon Jim Russell

Is it possible to reform the Society of Jesus from the bottom up? Or does its Constitutions require a top-bottom reform? If these rogue priests cannot be disciplined by the order then the order should be suppressed.

What is the new Latin emphasis?

If it is no longer the Passion, is it a sentimental or Pelagian understanding of the Resurrection?

I think the "socialization" aspect is rather incomplete and needs to be developed at length so that there is a proper discussion of the friendship that should exist among parishioners of the same parish.

Along with the network that purposely weeds out orthodox seminarians. But these steps don't address all of the problems.

Alas, the English Translation of His Book is Out of Print

Rorate Caeli: The Church and Asmodeus - Part 3 (and the fallacy of Theology of the Body) by Don Pietro Leone

3. ‘THEOLOGY OF THE BODY’

Faithful attending Pope John Paul II’s Angelus discourses from September 1979 –November 1984 and hoping for catechism or pious disquisitions, would surely have been disappointed. Instead they were to hear him propound in all freedom his personal theories of sexual morality. We shall here briefly examine two tenets of the personalistic ‘Theology of the Body’, having already discussed the theory in detail in our book.

But is his reading of John Paul II's Theology of the Body correct?

Fr. Bertacchini's Letter

Sandro Magister: On the Pope’s Desk, a "Memorandum" Against the General of the Jesuits. For Near Heresy

Fr. Bertacchini is supposedly a Jesuit of high caliber, and yet he can assert this:
"Such a grave statement should be reasoned out at length and in depth, because it is indeed possible to admit error in a narrative detail; but to call into question the veracity of doctrinal teachings of Jesus is another matter."

Fr. Hunwicke on the Celebrity Cult of the Papacy

Fr. Hunwicke: Celebrity Pontiffs

Pope Francis doesn't like personality cults, especially as applied to himself, and yet he does not he see that his actions lend themselves to supporting a personality cult? Another inconsistency to be explained by his modest intellect?

CWR Dispatch: On the First Day of Spring by James V. Schall, S.J.
Noticing is one of the most important things about us. Or to put it negatively, our lives are filled with myriads of things we never paid attention to. We couldn’t mark all of them.
