...debate was his response to critics who argued that a referendum held under the strict regulations of martial law could hardly provide a true index of popular attitudes. Opponents of the new charter, which provides for a parliamentary form of government, fielded a range of articulate spokesmen, among them Jesuit priests and members of Marcos' own party. They argued-convincingly, it would seem-that the constitution would give Marcos dictatorial powers for as long as he wanted them (it sets no date by which he must convene the Parliament, for example...
Even into the 1960s, the Jesuit seminarians at Maryland's Woodstock College seldom left the leafy campus overlooking the Patapsco River Valley. They rose at 5:30 a.m. to the clang of a seminary bell, attended compulsory early Mass, skittered around the campus in long black cassocks. They ate their meals silently while a prefect read from learned books. But neither its cloistered atmosphere nor its age (founded in 1869, it was the oldest Jesuit theologate in the U.S.) prevented Woodstock from being the nation's most dynamic institution of Roman Catholic theology...
...what if a Pope had issued a stinging encyclical in the late 1930s that did speak out on this issue? According to a copyrighted story last week in the National Catholic Reporter, such an encyclical was actually drafted for Pope Pius XI in 1938 by the late American Jesuit scholar John LaFarge and two fellow Jesuits.

And irony of ironies, the undisputed hero of sybaritic, leisure-loving Miami is the leader of the Dolphin pack, Coach Don Shula, 42, a rock-jawed, Jesuit-trained disciplinarian who would seem to fit the city's image about as well as Frank Sinatra would suit Painesville, Ohio...
...John Carroll University, a Jesuit school in Cleveland, Don took stock of himself and decided, "I was not good enough to become a really good halfback." He concentrated instead on learning how to play cornerback on defense. In part, that experience may explain Shula's knack for getting men to play above and beyond their skills; a mediocre talent himself, he learned early to admit his limitations and make the most of his assets. Although slow and a bit bulky (5 ft. 11 in., 200 lbs.) as defensive backs go, Shula was nevertheless drafted by the Cleveland Browns...
