SFEcon’s experience at the Jesuits’ University of San Francisco would indicate that no sin inheres with the discovery of a materialistic basis for Mises’ market miracle, nor in contradicting the Austrians’ finding that their Vienna Problem is complex beyond solution — a finding formally upheld at the Jesuits' quasi-Magisterial Acton Institute. For some years Societas Iesu was only too happy to wet its beak in the NSF grants awarded to SFEcon, as well as to collect tuition for the experimental courses in international business economics voluntarily taught by one of their most highly rated instructors.
Our clerisy is, however, quite alert when it comes to rooting-out views it finds truly heretical. Thus when SFEcon was finally run out of academe, our offense was against the multicultural revelation that the Vatican is actively substituting for Christianity — that is the Jesuit, Catholic value of Multiculturalism propounded by Fr. President John P. Schlegel, S.J., USF (1991-2000), Creighton (2000-2011). This celebration of moral superiority on the part of California’s Jesuits followed directly upon their public confession of having hired mentally-challenged men for their use as sexual appliances.1
Retaining their faith despite prolonged contact with USF, certain alumni and students appealed this matter to His Excellency William Levada upon his elevation to Archbishop of San Francisco. Their suit was dismissed without reply. Allegations of teaching while German had followed SFEcon from the State University at San Francisco to USF, which affronted not only the Jesuits’ multicultural sensibilities, but also the Vatican’s induction of racialist guilt in Christians now living for abuses against the European Jewry by Christians (and, as was much more often the case, pagans) long dead:
For Christians, this heavy burden of conscience of their brothers and sisters during the Second World War must be a call to penitence.2Whereas these delectable acts of Catholic self-flagellation are always carried out at safe distances from actual priests, their stings can be resented by the particular members of the laity upon whom they fall. In any case, our new Archbishop had already hitched his career to that of a German Cardinal whose own prospects were served by further indulging the Church’s self-abasement over Pius XII’s inadequate response to the Nazis.3
Once elected Pope, His Holiness Benedict XVI called the Ordinary of Christendom’s
most corrupt archdiocese to Rome, created him Cardinal, and appointed him Prefect of
the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. In this successor office to the Roman Inquisition,
William Cardinal Levada is well situated to indulge the hierarchy’s immemorial delight in
creating atheists and Protestants.
