	Robert Drinan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Drinan received a B.A. and an M.A. from Boston College in 1942 and joined the Jesuit Order the same year; he was ordained as a Catholic priest in 1953.
		Drinan was the first to introduce a resolution in Congress calling for the impeachment of President Nixon over the Watergate scandal, though many of his colleagues thought that it was poorly timed before sufficient support and evidence could be gathered against Nixon.
		Drinan currently serves as a member of the American Bar Association House of Delegates and was chair of the ABA Section on Individual Rights and Responsibilities.

	Strange_Career
		Drinan himself was becoming increasingly sensitive to criticism, on one occasion saying publicly that pro life groups were guilty of "lies and calumny" because they accused him of supporting abortion.
		Drinan said that he was submitting to the decree "with regret and pain." Again he summarized all the work for good he had been able to do while in Congress, while omitting all mention of abortion.
		Drinan first proposed running for office as the cultural upheaval of the 1960s was reaching its crescendo, in the Church as well as in secular society, and his candidacy promoted "the 1960s agenda" in numerous ways.

	CWNews: THE STRANGE POLITICAL CAREER OF FATHER DRINAN (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		At the beginning of his candidacy Drinan told his Jesuit superiors that he had received informal assurances of approval from the Archdiocese of Boston and from the Diocese of Worcester, and the New England Province had forwarded this claim to Rome.
		Drinan's departure from Congress hardly marked his departure from politics, as in due course he became president of the liberal Americans for Democratic Action (ADA).
		Although Drinan's publicly expressed views on abortion seemed more moderate before l970 than they would later turn out to be, it was already evident that he was a priest-lawyer with whom Catholic moral teachings sat uneasily at a number of points.

		No one familiar with Drinan's career could imagine that he was sincere in dismissing abortion as "a small issue," but by the same token no one familiar with his career could be surprised by his flat-out lying when it suits his purposes.
		Drinan's original candidacy in 1970 was itself a masterpiece of mendacity.
		Yet with the connivance of his New England provincial Drinan pulled off an ingenious double-bluff whereby he lied to the Jesuit General that he'd gotten the support of the local bishops to run for office, and then lied to the the local bishops that he'd gotten the support of the Jesuit General.
