1. LGBTUVWXYZ, S.J.
From a glittering post at the Jesuit weekly:
Homophobia is still out there, no matter how much we would wish to think of ourselves as an enlightened culture, and exists in our church. Thus, the need for June as “LGBT month,” as just proclaimed by President Obama.
They call themselves the "National Catholic weekly", two words of which are true. We suggest, as a matter of truthfulness, that they change it to the "National LGBT weekly" in their anti-"homophobia" movement - we doubt their readership would change much.

2. Archbishop of Mexico denounces pro-abortion Jesuit-run group.
MEXICO CITY, June 3, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) – A letter written by the Cardinal of Mexico City, Most Rev. Norberto Rivera Carrera to the Canadian Bishops Conference says that the Jesuit run Miguel Austin Pro Centre (PRODH) “does NOT represent the sentiments of the Church and has been characterized by its support and encouragement of groups and activities that are an affront to Christian values.” Until recently PRODH was a partner of the Canadian Catholic Organization for Development and Peace (D&P), the Canadian bishops’ international development arm.
“With respect to the theme of defence of life, the organization has supported pro-abortion groups and promoted the purported woman’s right over her body, against unborn life,” said a translation of the letter obtained by The Catholic Register.
The letter confirms the reasoning behind the decision of Ottawa Archbishop Terrence Prendergast to refuse to permit the then-leader of PRODH, Jesuit priest Fr. Luis Arriaga, from speaking in his archdiocese last month. After the archbishop met with Development and Peace (D&P) director Michael Casey, funding for PRODH was also cut. [Tip: Angelqueen]
