Promptly America, Jesuit weekly, called upon pious Methodist Ambassador Daniels to resign his post. To a Catholic newshawk Ambassador Daniels explained that he did indeed quote General Calles, but without commenting on the "character or quality" of Mexican education. America insisted: "Either he knew what Calles meant, or he did not. If he did know, he was guilty of an unwarrantable interference in Mexican politics, and on the side of the anti-Christians. If he did not know, then he should not be in Mexico as our Ambassador. In either case, he should resign...
...estimate of the quality of Mexican education was given in El Paso. Tex. last week by Rev. Michael Kenny, Jesuit, one-time regent of Loyola University's Law School. Returned from an investigation tour, he reported on Mexican sex education with special reference to the State of Tabasco, whose Governor is named Canabal.

...nearly 300 years since a Jesuit priest named Isaac Jogues set out from Orleans, France to win North American Indians for Christ. He made some progress among the sedentary Hurons, at the price of hate and fear from the warlike Iroquois.

They took him to their village in what is now New York State, amusing themselves along the way by ripping out his fingernails, chopping off his thumbs, plucking out his hairs, heaping live coals on his body. Escaping after...

Stripping their captives, they promptly set about pounding them with clubs, searing them with glowing irons, tearing out their fingernails. Father Brébeuf exhorted his comrades to bear up bravely. The Iroquois cut out his tongue. Father Brébeuf's eyes still sparked courage. The Iroquois gouged them out, dropped live coals in the sockets. They draped a red-hot necklace over his head. Then they scalped him, baptized him with boiling water...
Some of the warriors who in grudging admiration drank Father Brébeuf's blood and ate his heart lived to enter the Jesuit mission at Caughnawaga as Christian converts. But four more Jesuits and two lay companions died martyrs' deaths before the Iroquois began to relent. And never until scholarly, unassuming Michael Jacobs, born Wishe Karhaienton, was ordained, had a full-blooded Mohawk Iroquois donned the black robe which made him a spiritual brother of Isaac Jogues and Jean de Breb?...
