Weapon training of Marquette
ROTC student
I have noticed that when people hear a message they do not like to hear, they might first praise the messenger but ignore the messenger. If the messenger keeps saying the message they might attack the messenger in order to ignore the message. If that does not work, they just ignore the messenger and the message.
This is how I feel about my relationship with members of the Society of Jesus and its companions. I remember a time when some called me a ‘prophet’, than they attacked me to ignore the message and now ignore me and my message.
The message they do not want to hear is that some Jesuit schools are teaching men and woman how to kill without use of conscience in the military departments they host on campus.
This really came home to me when the one Jesuit who I though understood my message and accepted it ignored an article I wrote about the issue due to lack of identity picture I used of student soldier that I had taken from a Jesuit ROTC web site. Actually I found the source of the picture and the name of the student but I doubt if that was the real issue why he would not read the article.
I realize being attacked or ignored like I face is just small change compared how great leaders like Martin Luther King Jr., whose birthday is tomorrow, faced. I am finding a lot of support and information about this message of teaching reflexive killing from veterans and military sources, some that do not agree with my moral conclusions about killing without conscience. But at least they admit to teaching and training soldiers to do this, while the Jesuits at Marquette will not even recognize this is being taught by the military, let alone make a moral judgment about it.
I rather be disagreed with or attacked than being ignored, especially by Jesuits, who I respect and who claim to be companion of Jesus.
