Empty Vessels make most sound!

From Fr K. Borg MSSP

With regard to certain opinions expressed in your paper, allow me to state that it is unbelievable how certain individuals have an opinion just about everything. From the way they write, they give the impression that they are God’s gift to humanity! Being so opinionated they make you think that theirs has to be the last word of persuasion. Woe to you if you happen to show any form of disagreement with their line of thinking!

They write and say a lot of things and one wonders how certain conclusions are even reached. They are so illogical in their thought process that Aristotle would probably be turning and tossing around in his grave if he were to read their pretentious writings. It seems that they are so biased in their opinions that no matter what, they always have to lay blame on the same individuals or institutions. Besides, in order to do this, they often have to stretch their imagination quite a bit.

Also, in pointing their finger they become so self-righteous that being critical of others almost becomes an inherent right. In this process they label whoever tends to show them the slightest sign of disagreement. Perhaps, they expect us minions to bow our heads in consent to whatever they feel like saying and thank them profusely for enlightening our darkened minds.

But wait a second! I have just recalled the saying: Empty vessels make most sound!
