 Society of Jesus Summary
Most Jesuit mathematicians of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries are referred to as "geometers" and, because of this, it is often assumed that Jesuits concentrated on geometry and the mathematics of classical Greece to the exclusion of other methods.

Among the notable Jesuits of the 20th century, John Courtney Murray, SJ, was called one of the "architects of the Second Vatican Council" and drafted what eventually became the council's endorsement of religious freedom, Dignitatis Humanae Personae.

Cavnar said she “detects less and less interest in a traditional religious vocation, but more and more are empowered to take roles and responsibility in their church/parish.” The majority of the Catholic/Christian kids “are a sort of puzzle, they’ve got the zealous attitude, got the desire, love the retreats, love being part of prayer groups.

The Ivy League, named so for the longstanding tradition of strangling poor people with the Ivy plants that grew around campus, consists of 8 overpriced and overly pretentious Universities with larger funds than most third-world countries.

 Jesuit: Vatican Tyranny
Paragraph 3: "with priests and deacons as helpers, the bishops received the charge of the community, presiding in Gods stead over the flock, of which they are the shepherds in that they are teachers of doctrine, ministers of sacred worship and holders of office in government." Ireland is a typical example of this policy.

 Presbyterian Outlook
Under a proposal rolled out for chief financial officers recently in Cincinnati, the nation’s 28 Jesuit colleges and universities would use their billions of dollars in investments to push a collective, Roman Catholic social agenda.
Whether other non-Catholic colleges would follow a Jesuit model of alliance- based shareholder activism remains to be seen.
Although Jesuits enjoy a common set of religious values that prove helpful when forging alliances, Orlowski sees all colleges and universities as ethic-driven institutions that might consider alliances with likeminded schools, especially if the Jesuit example reaps results both socially and financially.
