Unfortunately<br \/>\nfor the Society of Jesus a new group of SJs have come onto the scene, the Scabs<br \/>\nof Jesus. These strike breaking (also referred to as <a href=\"http:\/\/dictionary.reference.com\/search?q=scab\">scabs<\/a>)<br \/>\npriests are crossing picket lines and conducting Mass. One Jesuit priest relates<br \/>\na story about one of these Masses he observed. &quot;I waited patiently throughout<br \/>\nand was disturbed to find not one liturgical dancer. The Eucharistic Prayers<br \/>\nwere actually read straight from the lectionary with no addition or ad libs,<br \/>\nwhat was he thinking. The priest also misused the homily by not speaking about<br \/>\nhis favorite social actions, but instead talked about the universal call to<br \/>\nholiness. What a waste of time.&quot; The strike has had a surprising effect<br \/>\non schools and those attending Mass in this area. Mr. Smythe a father of a child<br \/>\ngoing to a Jesuit school was shocked to have his son not bringing home the typical<br \/>\n&quot;Jesus is love&quot; coloring book but a Bible and Catechism instead. After<br \/>\nsome inquiries Mr. Smythe found out that this is something actually recommended<br \/>\nfor all Catholics to read. Other parishioners have also been pleasantly surprised<br \/>\nthat the Church still believes in miracles, purgatory, sin, and the divinity of Christ. Thousands of<br \/>\nemails and letters have poured forth into the provincial office encouraging<br \/>\nthem to stay on strike until there is peace on earth.<\/p>\n<p class=\"post\"> See the original story Domenico Bettinelli <a href=\"http:\/\/bettnet.dyndns.org\/blog\/comments.php?id=P705_0_1_0\">posted<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The provincial of the California province of the Jesuit order has followed through on his threat of a strike when we entered the war.
