Jesuits covered for college president
The Oregon Province has been in the news for sexual abuse, before the latest news of the Gonzaga U. president, John Leary, who was accused in 1966 but not determined guilty but in 1969 had to leave town (Spokane), which he did, remaining a Jesuit in good standing until his death in 1993.
Leary and Michael Toulouse, a Jesuit who taught at Seattle University and died in 1976, are among 30 to 50 open cases involving members of the Society of Jesus in the Oregon Province, which includes Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana and Alaska, [Rev. John] Whitney [the provincial] said. [Italics added]
'The Jesuits and these orders have flown under the radar for these last couple of years, and that`s about to change,' said Tim Kosnoff, a lawyer representing several victims of abuse by Catholic clergy.

He is big on the Blessed Mother and in general an advocate and promoter of traditional Catholicism. Here is his info.
Christopher Check from the Rockford Institute will be at the CAA 9/23 for a Catholic Citizens lunch, discussing ““Lepanto: The Battle and the Poem.” The institute is paleo-conservative (not neo-) and vigorously traditional. Condemns the Iraq war, for instance, has Pat Buchanan as an affiliate.
