An interesting coincidence perhaps? ...the gospel reading for Mass today was Jesus' story about the 'good Samaritan' who actually went the extra mile to tend to the man who was beaten and robbed,  as opposed to the ultra-religious folks who were schooled in the law yet passed by the messy human need and did nothing.  Our priest made a point in his homily that it was the hated Samaritan whom Jesus made the hero of the story.   Those who want to live with their respective heads in a book, nitpick the law and ignore human need, can take it up with Jesus :)
