...intellectual, born Roman Catholic but out of practice-has the scrubbed, care-lined radiance of a man who in other circumstances might well have been a worker-priest, American style.

...After St. Ignatius of Loyola founded the Society of Jesus 438 years ago, his Jesuits became the clerical shock troops of the Counter Reformation, the loyal defenders of the papacy.

Lately, however, some of the most outspoken attacks on Pope Paul VI from within the church have come from Jesuits-attacks that their superior general now wants stopped.

Now the only two priests on the law school faculty of Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C., have become fed up with the policy. The two professors, Father Joseph Broderick and Father David Granfield, have filed separate suits in a Washington federal court seeking parity with other law professors. They thus increased the pressure being applied by a growing group...
