However, we do produce more leading politicians and lawyers than any other college system, which is a mark of the quality of the education and concern about public issues.

The Jesuits are the most "conservative" of all Catholics to the point, they have been called the Army of Jesus instead of the Society of Jesus.
You are correct that they dominate our judiciary and legal system.
But, there are parts of their history and some traits that they shouldn't be proud of, and the ends justify the means is one of them.
Anyway, back on thread.
Bernardi asked "what's next?" It was the press and hysterical minority that linked the two. He never said one leads to the other. He merely asked where do we stop?
Jim, conservative in some ways but very progressive in a number of ways, importantly including social justice issues.
I think you will find that Pope Francis (a Jesuit) will be the most progressive Pope in history.
As for Cory Bernardi, will leave it to some of his colleagues:
'Mr Swan and Senator Milne were joining a chorus of responses to Senator Bernardi's overnight remarks which warned that the same-sex marriage campaign would result in campaigns to accept bestiality and polygamy.
Debate on private bills legalising same-sex marriage continues in both houses of parliament today.
Coalition frontbencher Malcolm Turnbull described Liberal Senator Cory Bernardi's as hysterical, alarmist and offensive.
Mr Turnbull, a former opposition leader, said the senator's comments were "the worst sort of slippery slope argument".
"It's hysterical, it's alarmist, it's offensive and it does not represent the mainstream view of Australian people, let alone the Liberal party," he told Sky News.
"I totally dissociate myself from those remarks."
Cheers
