Can’t really blame the Jesuits. Poor things. After all, they have to take vows of poverty, chastity and obedience. So: no money, no sex, no backtalk. It’s enough to make any man snap. The first two vows thwart the things which drive 99% of all human activity, and the third asks you not to be grouchy about it.
(I know you’re rolling your eyes at the chastity thing, but for the record, I know of only one priest from my high school who got sent up for molesting boys – and it wasn’t at school – he conducted “summer spiritual retreats.” Just like summer camp, only with lots of praying and scarring sexual conduct instead of s’mores).
