"Cult" charge

It seems to me that a reliable source describing the Community of Jesus as a "cult" deserves a mention here.[1] I attempted an NPOV edit, mentioning the charge without endorsing it ("Michael Valpy of The Globe and Mail has described the Community of Jesus as 'an ultra-authoritarian Christian community that attracted the wealthy, the successful and often the mind-bruised' and 'a mind-control cult'."), but my sentence was vandalized,[2] and then removed.[3] I'm not going to add it back, because I don't want to get into an edit war over this, but I'm hoping that someone else can work on this. --Alexbook (talk) 03:01, 20 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Alexbook, to be upfront, I'm relatively new to wikipedia and from Orleans, removed the sentence because it read in a bizarre manner, not realizing it had been vandalized, and because the reference linked to what reads like a personal attack short of encyclopedic value. Hope that helps. RHarbor (talk) 03:42, 29 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Dispute over placement of controversy section

Both the book and television program referenced in the controversy section are over 20 years old, and are not representative of the Community of Jesus today. There is no notable controversy currently. The Community of Jesus is not now, nor has ever been named in a lawsuit in Canada. It makes no sense to read about one-sided media coverage 20 years ago, before learning about an organization.

There is a recent book and documentary film as this only two months old. There are recent sources that have been referenced.

False information about litigation

There is no litigation involving the Community of Jesus in 2016. The Community of Jesus is not a defendant or party to the controversies cited, which stem from alleged incidents occurring over 25 years ago in a foreign country.
