"Narcissist in Chief"? Carry on! It's fun to watch you guys. - bob Wed, 31 Aug 2011 03:16:19 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2011/age-of-unreason.html#comment-7911 Thank you for the excellent review of Mr. Marlin's book. With the dumbing down of the American educational system, I wonder how many people under the age of 50 or even 60 will understand the historical/literary reference of the image on the cover. "What these critics fail to grasp is that bishops, as shepherds, have a duty to their flocks to offer guidance on the Church’s moral teachings." What critics fail to grasp? Heck! how can critics grasp what bishops themselves fail to grasp? It has been my experience, however, that, even when bishops do grasp the message, they overestimate their powers of persuasion. It might help if mirrors were forbidden in all rectories and chanceries. - Louise Mon, 29 Aug 2011 13:44:52 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2011/age-of-unreason.html#comment-7910 Mr. Miner, It sounds an excellent book, but I am unsure that reading it would not cause me a further loss of charity towards the overwhelming majority of those whose hats are already "in the ring."

Your good review of Mr. Marlin's book has stimulated my interest and I am ordering it today. - Ray Hunkins Mon, 29 Aug 2011 05:09:26 +0100
