'Jesus wants followers, not admirers' | National Catholic Reporter  MSW.  MGB:  I would have hired the woman in the leather because she would bring in more revenue - which is why she probably dressed as she did.  It always strikes me when a member of the hierarchy claims that Jesus wants followers when Jesus made it a point to speak out against the hierarchy of his day.  If we wanted admirers, he would have been a better member of the Pharasee Party - rather than mocking them for the darkness of their hearts.  Sadly, many of the "defenders of marriage" and protectors of abusers go out of their way to be admired.
