Christianity is a religion that requires study and mental discipline. Paul in 1 Timothy commands diligence in Bible study. But that often does not play well in the anti-intellectual TV age. Too many would rather like to go with the flow, let a preacher do their thinking for them and hope for some message from God while maximizing the emotion and avoiding the mental.

Quite true, but I would also like some intellectual stimulation from the clergy. A couple of weeks ago the entire homily was about why we should give money to this visiting priest’s pet cause. Very disappointing.
