Hey Kev, It is Memorial Day Weekend and I am getting away for a couple of days (till Tuesday) but wanted to get back to you before leaving. Kevin, I have responded to both your asking me to share what I have learned (Catholic Schooling all my life - Grammar, High and University) regarding the Parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector. "To go away/home justified" means to be made righteous, just, holy and acceptable before God. Justification involves being transformed from the state of sin to the state of grace. One cannot believe that Jesus sent the woman caught in adultery home by telling her that her sins have been forgiven and to go and sin no more but that when He spoke in parables, the person who called out for God's mercy because he/she are great sinners with contrite and humble hearts would go home only to remain in their sin.
