After learning the language and culture of the Chinese people, these Jesuits began to establish contacts with the young intellectuals of the country.
I'm a highly flawed individual, as we all are, and because I was raised by Jesuits, I'm constantly, 'What is it about me and what I can do to be better?'
The Jesuits I know who have died and all their lives were great teachers, they're the least remembered people.
Jesuits encourage an intellectual rigor in a way that I like.
My parents spent an awful lot of money sending me to the best possible schools, and I came out of my exams and thought, 'I don't really want to do a degree.' I did philosophy with the Jesuits for about a year, and then I joined a bank. While I was there, I saw an ad in an Irish paper for radio announcers.
