The Jesuit University kicked him out because he was too extreme for them.
Imagine that.
Too extreme for Catholic Priests./3

To each of you who signed the petition, all 4,147 of you, I want to extend my thanks and my gratitude. /
We have received an answer from the government. It's not at all close to what we requested in our petition. /

#mediapetition
I've consulted with someone who has not only expertise in petitions, but who agrees that concentration, not foreign ownership, is the problem.
