I think posting this on AQ is probably the equivalent of tossing a newborn lamb into a piranha pool, but we’ll see…

These guys have absolutely no interest in JESUS they should have been laicized years ago
Father Feeney warned about what he saw being taught in the Jesuit seminaries in Boston in the early 1950s, he was a top professor there, that is one of the unknown things about the Father Feeney story, he was warning about what was being taught in the seminaries in the Boston Area (both diocesan and religious) He taught at both during his fight for EENS. He saw homosexual seminarians not being removed and modernist teaching in those seminaries and not just on EENS.
Fr. Feeney did not warn about who (if any homosexuals) or what was being taught in the Jesuit seminaries[sic; they had only one, Weston, in the rural Boston suburb of that name]. Nor was he a “top professor” there; rather, he was a literary critic for the Jesuit America magazine, a writer of a number of popular books (especially on poetry and a biography of St. Elizabeth Seton)), and a gifted speaker (some say equal to Bishop Sheen ; and also, as he was, featured on the Catholic Hour radio program). His order assigned him as a sort of chaplain to the St. Benedict Center, a sort of Newman Center for Catholic students at non-Catholic colleges such as Harvard and Radcliffe, established by others before he came on the scene, and with the approval of the Boston Archdiocese to “teach the Faith without compromise.” Fr. Feeney did criticize the Jesuits and other religious orders for sending their members to places such as Harvard for advanced degrees for fear that they would loose their faith at such places. He also criticized the Jesuits at Boston College and the Boston Archdiocese (especially its Ordinary, then Archbishop Richard Cushing) for denying the dogma “Extra Ecclesia nulla salus (Outside the Church there is no salvation)” or teaching an interpretation that would undermine it. Thus the charge of heresy was not against Fr. Feeney but by him against the Jesuits at Boston College and the Boston Archdiocese. For more information about Fr. Feeney and the St. Benedict Center, see catholicism.org/author/fatherleonardfeeneymicm
He had a chance on national TV to stand up for Catholicism. Shame on him.
