Today's gospel (Mk 7:1-13): One can only imagine Jesus' frustration with so-called "teachers of the law" who nit-pick and criticize him for every technical violation of rules or rubrics,, while ignoring injustice or the call to mercy. The church has its own counterparts.

In every generation, the Spirit is hunted from the Temple by the thieves and paid careerists. The Spirit is welcomed by the fast girl at Jacobs Well, who has a heart that is too used to pursuing love. God decided-Better a divorcee with an easy heart than a scowling lawyer.

All are welcome. Even those who nitpick and criticize.
