Pope Francis: Exemplary or Exceptional Jesuit?

To moderate the passionate imbalance of my previous post, I contemplate Pope Francis as a Jesuit: on the one hand, he is the quintessential Jesuit (individual), in the best sense; on the other hand, he is exceptional (anti-elitist, fully enfleshed with the poor) in a splendid manner. He is an individual...in the classic sense of Issac Jogues or Francis Xavier. He is his own man: free and spontaneous, invulnerable to intimidation or pressure, with a fine and educated intellect and a will made of flint and steel. Could he be the last of the Mohicans? I hope not! He is certainly NOT an elitist: on the contrary, he is an anti-elitist, with a vengeance! He has buried himself among the poor, all by himself, like an urban Charles DeFoucauld. He is far from the Georgetown that is trying to be Princeton or the Prep school counselor counting his Ivy League acceptances...as a matter of fact, he is the opposite! Nor is he a de-fleshed, "transcendental" thinker: he is enfleshed with the very poor as he rides their buses. What troubles, puzzles and fascinates me most about him is his retreat from the Culture War in the West. He is no libertine, he is more than capable of fighting the good fight, he could hardly be indifferent! He radiates the aroma of purity, chastity and innocence so he surely shares with his two predecessors a spiritual disgust for the degradation and defilement of lust. It may be that he has a different spiritual temperament: more allergic to greed and injustice than to lust. Or it may be that he has decided to take a gentle, indirect pastoral approach: aware of the evil, he purposefully chooses NOT to address it directly as he engages the sinner in a non-threatening, welcoming, and merciful way. He is blatantly not a vocal advocate of the cultural agenda of the previous dual-pontificate, but he is certainly not an opponent. Properly understood, his approach may be a brilliant compliment and development. George Weigel explains that when John Paul II came to the Vatican, there were two approaches within the Church competing on how to deal with communism: the culture war approach he shared with the native Church of Eastern Europe and the Ostpolitic diplomacy of Paul VI which accepted the reality and tried to make the best possible deals with the tyrants. Brilliantly, he kept Paul's Secretary of State Cardinal Casaroli and authorized him to continue that accomadationist approach WHILE he himself, more covertly and subtly, waged a fierce culture war. He was intelligent enough to know that he could best defeat the enemy by waging two kinds of warfare, brilliantly coordinated in a most covert way. The KGB did not know what hit them. Could it be that our two sets of Popes (the two that were canonized today and the two neighbors in the Vatican) wink at each other and secretly relish the risible incomprehension of the Western media who love to set the two lungs of the Church against each other?
