Both Tim Kaine and Martin O'Malley were educated by Jesuits, and they were both imbued with the principles of liberal social justice. The history of the Jesuits and their relationship and conflicts with orthodox Catholicism are a very interesting read. I have been privileged to have known a number of very remarkable Jesuits.
