Catholic schools assure us they teach virtue. But virtue is not necessarily the same as wisdom. We are quick to blame TV and media for teaching us bad, perhaps even evil things, but extremely slow to create ways of acquiring wisdom. I don't think so. I have the honor and pleasure of working with a few teenagers in Brown County who understand the depth and challenge of wise decisions better than some adults.
Wisdom is a difficult, expensive proposition.
In the Gospel, Jesus offers the comic imagery that it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than to gain the wisdom necessary to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Just threading needles to sew buttons on my winter coat is difficult enough operation for me. Threading camels is a bit much even for my imagination. But the difficulty of any quest has not deterred us in the past. We put a man on the moon.
