OK who are are the dogs and swines? "These people are dogs and swine, and you are casting holy things and pearls before them. And if you don't like those terms and their application to these people, take it up with Jesus and the Holy Fathers of the Church".

[Hermann the Cherusker]

The dogs and swine are those who disdain and trample the Catholic faith. In this case, it is these parents.

They are not literally dogs and swine of course, but they are described as such because they act like them with respect to our Lord's parabalistic saying.

Again, please read the exposition of the passage by the Fathers and explain how it does not apply to this situation.

All people tend to emphasize certain Scripture verses over others. The analogy of 'dogs and swine' was chosen over, say, 'seventy times seven' or 'Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.'
