Shepherdless Sheep

Katherine came across an essay that gave words to a long festering frustration with which we’ve each struggled:

What do we do when the shepherds of the Church aren’t clearly leading we the sheep?

The article specifically urges bishops and theologians to press Pope Francis for greater clarity in regards to vague and ambiguous statements that are quickly and easily misconstrued and manipulated by the media and those with a bias against particular teachings of the Catholic Church.

In cases such as these, how should ordinary Catholics react and respond to various news stories that come out of the Vatican and our own various chanceries?  

In this episode we discuss our reactions and responsibility to this elephant in the Cathedral, the responsibility of the pope and bishops to be shepherds of clarity and clear teaching.
