Like other people, I suspect that priests can be a mixture of the several metaphorical figures, sometimes a hireling, and sometimes a real shepherd. <br />Goodness, it seems, is rather like the Holy Spirit as described by Christ--it blows where it will. You could add ... and it changes direction with neither explanation nor warning. <br />That's why we should never put our trust in princes (even priestly ones), nor should we become complacent in ourselves.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5578980753063154388.post-19940593040655358412012-04-28T04:51:55.353-07:002012-04-28T04:51:55.353-07:00This is truly prophetic.

Ryan. <br />To many of my fellow parishoners I am considered a complete idiot because of my adherence to Catholic teaching on divorce/re-marriage/contraception etc.etc. It doesn't matter. I'd rather be seen as a fool than to take the all-too-easy path and follow the crowd. But my heart aches for those friends of mine who simply can't or won't take the teachings of our faith seriously. The virtue of obedience seems to have diminished somewhat in these modern times. Have we, as a people become so un-teachable?

Thank you for an excellent article, ...Dear Father,<br /><br />Thank you for an excellent article, and Happy Good Shepherd Sunday! I loved Msgr. Pope's blog on amplification in church! He nailed it. At my parish we are so blessed with our Father-Pastor, he preaches the whole Gospel, and he gives his all for his children. I pray for you and all priests and bishops and our Holy Father in this challenging time.
