Our priests are not the whole church. And, in Catholic school, I was taught not to hide my light under a bushel, but also not to toot my own horn. I bet you have no idea how many Catholic high school students have been taking their spring breaks and Christmas vacation to work on Katrina relief in the south.
We just do it, we don’t have to brag about it and call a press conference. Come to think about it, neither do the Amish and the Mennonites.
Actually, the Amish call these press conferences all the time, but with no recording or broadcast equipment present, the news never gets anywhere. =P
