i refuse to accept that so -called leaders in the style of '''Dolan..Lori…Chaput'' speak for the good and needs of the institutional (or even ''personal church.'' )  they speak for themselves and their own needs to rule, control and to continue to buy and wear ''fancy dress.''.  they are supposedly so 'pro-life' and 'reminders ' of the dignity of life, yet they refer to them selves as ''shepherds''--   this usage leads to the obvious: we are nothing more than  ''sheep'' to them.    for the record, they do not ''shepherd'' me and i am not a ''sheep.''
