JESUITS CALL FOR WITHDRAWAL OF KAVANAUGH
In a remarkable turn of events, while many conservatives have been praising the bold stand taken by Judge Brett Kavanaugh against the unprovable accusations of misconduct against him, his former supporters in the Jesuit Order have now called for President Trump to withdraw his nomination. It is worth noting that the Jesuits’ American Magazine had earlier endorsed Kavanaugh under the assumption that he would be instrumental in overturning Roe v. Wade. Yet a month beforehand, a leading Jesuit name Thomas Reese, also a former editor of the Jesuit publication, advised Catholics to vote for pro-abortion Democrats. Jesuit support for abortion can be traced to the 1970’s and the establishment of a group called Catholics for Choice. Considering the Jesuit history of supporting abortion, and the fact that America Magazine has openly called for repealing the Second Amendment, is it possible they are now opposing Kavanaugh because he is a true conservative?
