JESUITS MAKE THE “CATHOLIC CASE” FOR COMMUNISM
Chris discusses a new development at the Jesuit’s publication, known as America: The Jesuit Review. After decades of supposedly opposing Communism, the publication has now finally published an article in support of it. This is not a terribly great surprise for those who know the history of the order, since it was a Jesuit (Luigi Taparelli) who developed the term “social justice” back in 1843. Later, it was the Jesuit General Peter Jan Beckx, who reportedly worked with Karl Marx later in the 19th century (according to German Chancellor, Otto von Bismarck). On the one hand, America Magazine claims that they have opposed Marxism since the McCarthy era, so now why do they suddenly promote it? Are the powers on the left preparing for a greater push towards Socialism with the upcoming election?
