"Return, rebel Israel,  I will not remain angry with you; for I am merciful, says the Lord ...I will appoint over you shepherds after my own heart, who will shepherd you wisely and prudently." (Jeremiah 3:12, 15)

Even though there may not be many well-known or popular "bishops and higher up clergies including Pope F. of course!", still and always, there are good pastors who guard and guide our human fold.

While "sickening and sad" may describe unresolved realities of the "Catholic Institution," honesty and hope are the animating graces of the followers of the Good Shepherd.
