By Dr. Jeff Mirus, Catholic Culture - One of the most troubling aspects of arguing with those who hold all the standard popular errors is that false positions are so often advanced and defended based either on personal “feelings” (for which we can often read personal “desires”) or on what “everybody knows”, meaning that counter-opinions are instantly categorized as both inadmissible and personally vicious. Moreover, the intellectual and spiritual darkness is so willfully pervasive that it is hard even to get in a position to open a window to shed some light.

By Regis Martin, National Catholic Register - I once had an encounter with a hapless young cow that had gotten itself caught in a bush and, seeing that it was too stupid to figure out how to untangle itself, I simply went over and set the poor fellow free. He quickly rejoined his mother, who seemed grateful enough to get him back... Too bad it wasn’t some poor sheep I’d rescued. Or, better still, a cute little lamb to remind me of Jesus, who seems to have had a special connection with such creatures. Isn’t that why we call him the Good Shepherd? .
