My reflection on John Kavanaugh SJ, who died Nov 5 2012, appears in

@GiveUsThisDayLP

. At

we published 3 editions of his classic *Following Christ in a Consumer Society*--one every 10 yrs. I imagine a new ed. would have contrasted the models of Trump and Pope Francis.

My students and I just finished reading this in class and they were flabbergasted that he mentioned Trump all those years ago. This is a book that really makes you reflect on your life; highly recommend to anyone with a class of great students!

Trump is cited in the book as the epitome of the triumph of appearance over substance. How would Kavanaugh have responded to fact that such a person was elected president? Nothing that followed would have surprised him.
