A true shepherd

Hooray for Archbishop Cordileone! He is a true shepherd. He has insisted that our Catholic schools transmit the Catholic faith, the whole faith, and nothing opposing the faith. And multitudes of faithful Catholics are cheering him for this.

Now while it is no surprise that the depraved secular culture should oppose the archbishop, sadly, it reveals the deplorable lack of the Catholic faith being transmitted when students and their families and alumni join in that opposition.

And the opposition fails to grasp two things: One is that the church teaches the truth as revealed by he who is the truth. This truth cannot be changed as then it would be a lie.

And the other is that the church was formed by Jesus to teach, preserve and faithfully transmit this Truth to successive generations. This was the reason to found schools.

Also, no one is forced to work for, or attend, the schools.

Thank you, Archbishop Cordileone, for all the good you have done and are doing.
