His reasoning: to extend the elitist vow to all Jesuit priests (fewer than 50% are now allowed to take it) would weaken it as a commitment. Undaunted, the Congregation...

As for the pervasiveness of the thinking exemplified in the theses, Jesuit Dulles thinks that the ideas are widespread in the Roman Catholic Church, particularly among popularizers of the late Teilhard de Chardin and "liberation theologians," who give the Bible a Marxist reinterpretation. A professor from Manhattan's Union Theological Seminary, an influential Protestant school, said that the theses summarize...
