One for the Boys...

Well, it seems that my blog has become a bit of a hit at the Jesuit Theological College, as a number of Jesuit boys have confessed to checking it out during the past week (thanks to St Expeditus).

Now I have a personal theory about Jesuits, which is this: Just as the Benedictines have their secret recipe for their wonderful Benedictine liqueur, I reckon that the Jesuits have stumbled upon a secret recipe for some kind of 'niceness' drug, and when they start their training in Sydney, all Jesuit novices are injected with this niceness drug. I say this because ALL the Jesuit students I have stumbled across in various classes, and worship or social events around the United Faculty of Theology have been so amazingly nice, (and gentle, and hospitable).

And no, it's not a case of "too good to be true", or the "Stepford Jesuits", they are all very real and human, but just... well... ummm... nice (and if they could bottle this drug, I'm sure the Society of Jesus would make a fortune!)

And can't you see the niceness literally radiating from this picture of some of the Jesuit boys, taken at the recent opening of the Dalton McCaughey Library? (and whilst the boys don't always wear those shiny suits, they do always seem to wear those shiny smiles! :-)
