Pedro Arrupe, S.J., was removed just as Jorge Bergoglio, S.J., must be removed

Remember when Pedro Arrupe was removed as Superior General of the Jesuit Order by Pope John Paul II? No? No memory of that? 

It's no use consulting the Internet for validation. It has no memory of that event. However both Wikipedia and a few articles from the leftist Jesuit magazine, America, say that Arrupe "resigned". The Jesuits won't admit that John Paul II removed Arrupe. They say that Arrupe resigned due to his failing health. They say that Arrupe was going to recommend American Jesuit Vincent O'Keefe, S.J., as his replacement when instead John Paul II "intervened" and appointed two other Jesuits, Paola Dezza and Giuseppe Pittau, to oversee the Society of Jesus until a new Superior General could be elected.

In fact, the cold hard truth is that on October 5, 1981, Pope John Paul II rightfully removed Pedro Arrupe, S.J.,  forever from the Generalate, which in turn, moved O'Keefe from his post as Vicar General of the Society and from all hope of being elected General by a subsequent Congregation. Then he (JPII) firmly and resolutely appointed Dezza and Pittau as overseers until such time (two years later, September of 1983) a new Superior General could be elected.

Georgetown's Bridge Initiative

Christianophobia
America magazine published a January 23, 2017, article by Jordan Denari Duffner called, “What Catholics owe their Muslim brothers and sisters.”  Jordan Denari Duffner and the Bridge Initiative are described on their website thus: “Jordan Denari Duffner is a research fellow at Georgetown University’s Bridge Initiative, which studies Islamophobia. A former Fulbright scholar in Amman, Jordan, she is writing a book on Muslim-Christian dialogue for Liturgical Press.

Georgetown University’s Bridge Initiative is based in Georgetown University’s Prince Alwaleed bin Talal Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding. The Bridge Initiative is a multi-year research project that connects the academic study of Islamophobia with the public square.”
