TUESDAY QUOTE OF THE WEEK CDLXVIII

FINDING TRUTH WHEREVER IT MAY BE FOUND:  "There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always has been.  The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.'"  Isaac Asimov

IN OTHER NEWS:

It is difficult to see through the trees but the city is setting up the "BIG" stage in Elm Hill Park (AKA Forest Lodge Park) across the street from St. Sebastian.  We have been wondering where they were going to set it up - it will be over by the ball field.  Thursday and Friday night there will be the ballet and on Sunday night the Akron Symphony Orchestra will play practically in my front yard.  Awesome!

I ask this respectfully, but is there not a duplicity in Bishop Barron criticizing those who can have children but choose not to, and his own decision to remain celibate? To suggest that selfish motives must inform such a personal decision is a broad generalization, and a bit of malpractice. Who is this video directed towards? Does he mean to chastise those who are childless, or shape the opinions of those who might influence/pressure childless couples?
