      Truth, Jesuits definitely have their skeletons in the closet when it comes to imperialism/colonialism/slavery but the modern Jesuits are one of the few religious sects I don’t mind.

      I was raised Catholic, went to Catholic school but the Jesuits were very influential in my community. I actually came out with a world view shaped by knowledge, understanding, and empathy. The exact opposite of the modern evangelical culture in the US. Maybe I just go lucky and we had the few good Catholics in charge of our church community but I usually contribute it to the Jesuits.
