Pope Francis visited the Jesuit Curia yesterday to speak with Jesuit Brothers from around the world who are meeting in Rome. The Pope then joined the Jesuit community for "pranzo." Our Superior General, Arturo Sosa, SJ, accompanied the Pope, who was clearly enjoying himself! https://t.co/nL1da4degs

This pontificate amply demonstrates why no Jesuit prior to Francis was ever elected Pope.
Hmmm, very glad they were all ‘enjoying themselves’, per Rev Martin, SJ.
All I pray for is a 100% Roman Catholic pope, who eschews novelty, modernism and secular politics, and one who actually speaks of sin, suffering and salvation, while calling evil, evil, good , good, that we might all be saved.
So he can smile? I never knew. I thought the scowl was permanent. In my defense, I’ve only seen pictures of him at Mass, or with President Trump.
I have always maintained that lifting the suppression of the order was a serious mistake.
What’s the trigger here, the comments from Fr. Martin or the plain-clothes priests?
What’s the trigger here
Contemporary Jesuits does it for me Pinky.
Sure, just knowing they’re out there is irritating. I’m fully onboard with being bothered by them.
Glad to see everyone having a good time while the Church and many are blithely going to hell.,
St. Faustina’s Diary has a passage that fits this:
*
153 One day, I saw two roads. One was broad, covered with sand and flowers, full of joy, music and all sorts of pleasures. People walked along it, dancing and enjoying themselves. They reached the end without realizing it. And at the end of the road there was a horrible precipice; that is, the abyss of hell. The souls fell blindly into it; as they walked, so they fell. And their number was so great that it was impossible to count them. And I saw the other road, or rather, a path, for it was narrow and strewn with thorns and rocks; and the people who walked along it had tears in their eyes, and all kinds of suffering befell them. Some fell down upon the rocks, but stood up immediately and went on. At the end of the road there was a magnificent garden filled with all sorts of happiness, and all these souls entered there. At the very first instant they forgot all their sufferings.
