"The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. But the hired hand runs away when the sheep comes." --Jesus

Who is shepherding the flock on earth; a good shepherd or a hired hand? Is it too much to ask why these heretic wolves are given free reign to gorge themselves on the innocent lambs right in the sheepfold?

Lord Jesus, save us from the mitered wolves and their hired hands!
