You can be a Jesuit without being a priest.....Tim Kaine is one as well, he did a 3 year missionary trip to South America....it is a teaching you follow, they have Jesuit schools......I could attend a Baptist college, but I don't have to be a pastor.
Nope. It is an order of the priesthood. There are no lay members. It is a teaching order so many Catholic schools are staffed and run by Jesuits. Podesta is just a lay Catholic. And he has a problem with Catholic teaching on homosexuality,

John Podesta cannot be a Jesuit. He is not a priest.
