What keeps the Jesuits ahead is, in large measure, the fire and zeal of younger members of the society, who have plenty of ideas of what ought to be done. Many would like to see the society abandon all but a handful of its best universities-such as Fordham and Georgetown-and send its top professors to jobs at secular universities. Bored with an outdated classical curriculum, they would like more training in social and physical sciences, greater freedom to develop a Christian theology for the racial struggle...
