That's a lousy interpretation. And a dangerous one. He was telling parents that the kids would show progress and grow into a well-mannered kid.

He's saying the sower parable, seeds and soils, represent a process in which the person "improves his soil over time."

I don't get that impression from Jesus' interpretation at all.

Nope but the RC's have poor understanding of basic scripitual principles..they are not generally well taught (the FR Catholics are the exception not the rule)

What he did is typical of stretching the gospel to make it life application instead of just preaching the word and letting God illuminate the message He wants heard by each individual
