A Jesuit priest says he will rather go to prison than pay a fine of 500 euros or $541 for participating in a climate activists’ street blockade in the southern German city of Nuremberg.
Jesuits are real ones. The Nazis considered them to be one of their “most dangerous enemies” due to their principled opposition. Glad to see they’re keeping the flame alive.
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.
