May G-d guide his mind and heart.

I have loved and respected all Jesuits with whom I have come into contact. That does not mean they are all good people, but they are all smart. I would consider myself unarmed in a battle of wits with any of them I have met. I aspired to the Socity of Jesus many years ago, and I made it based on IQ and SAT scores, but my grades and finances were lacking, and that just wasn’t gonna get it.

There are a number of people that suspect the Jesuits of some intrigue, and it is not out of the realm of possibility that they are correct; what that intrigue involves, who can say.

I know I’m happy that Dolan didn’t get this gig. I’m surprised Obama didn’t claim it. And I hope that Ratzo enjoys his retirement, and that it is a long and fruitful one
