But stayed within the leftist cocoon where he found a lot of other Jesuits, embracing the elusive “option for the poor” and other seductive Marxist initiatives. Alas, this meant certain activities or inactivities which ignore the plight of the oppressed, as is observed in this NC Register article about a questionable jubilee:

An emphasis on social reform becomes a slippery thing, as the preferred means of social reform — political action — can displace the gospel itself. Consider Father Sosa, who is from Venezuela.

Venezuela’s Maduro regime is the leading violator of human rights in Latin America, the cause of starvation levels of poverty in what should be a rich country, and the largest producer of refugees in the world.

Yet Father Sosa is largely silent about all of this, embracing instead a politics that prefers not to criticize leftist regimes. Politics here trumps social justice.

That would be Father Arturo Sosa, the Jesuit superior general, who was on hand for the celebration in Rome of a major Jesuit social-action initiative.

He also “denies the historicity of the gospels” and “doesn’t believe that the devil exists.” Or didn’t until changing his mind three months later.

Wot the hell? Wot the hell, Archie?
