text: Martin's approach is hardly "pastoral" as no shepherd would lead his flock into the the company of wolves or allow them to be fly-blown without treatment.
  
  Faithful Catholics the world over see this but the uncatechised find his avoidance of difficult things attractive, like kids who think their uncle is nicer than their parents because they can have ice cream for breakfast when they visit him.
  
  One characteristic of these uncatechised: not seeing that the teachings of the Church are in service of the Gospel.  You cannot truly follow Christ and not love his Church.
