In my estimate, political-correctness zealotry is an intellectual and psycho-spiritual cancer, figuratively speaking. But I do not accept Professor Peterson's critique of climate change; rather, I tend to agree with Pope Francis' 2015 eco-encyclical. In addition, I am wary of Professor Peterson's scapegoating of Yale's English Department. But I accept Yale's literary critic Harold Bloom's laments of certain fashionable trends in academia. To set forth my own position carefully, I draw on the thought of the American Jesuit cultural historian Walter J. Ong, the thought of the American Jungian theorist Robert L. Moore, and the thought of the Canadian Jesuit philosopher and theologian Bernard Lonergan.enJordan Peterson, Walter J.
