Loaves, Fish, and Shepherds by Fr. Paul D. Scalia Our Lord’s multiplication of the loaves and fish occupies a privileged place in the list of miracles. It is the only one recorded by all four Evangelists and the only one that prompts such a strong response from the crowd: they want to make Him king. It points us to the Eucharist, the Source and Summit of our Faith. Thus, in this scene our Lord announces the inestimable Gift of the Eucharist. In His treatment of the Apostles, He also outlines how the Church’s Shepherds are to continue nourishing us.
Perhaps most significantly, He tests them first: “Where can we buy enough food for them to eat?” He asks this question not because He needs the answer but because Philip and the others need to think about it. The temptation for the Apostles is to rely on human means. As Philip observes, “Two hundred days’ wages worth of food would not be enough for each of them to have a little.” Andrew chimes in with the same natural way of thinking: “There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish; but what good are these for so many?” These are voices of discouragement because they are voices of worldly thinking.
Here is the constant temptation of bishops and priests: to rely on human ingenuity and worldly resources rather than on Christ. It’s naturalism, the error of thinking that what a diocese or parish really needs can be found in what the world supplies. If only we have more money, the right resources, the best programs, greater social media presence, etc.
Christ’s Church, born from His pierced side, lives by His grace. We might use human means and worldly resources (as our Lord used bread and fish, the help of the Apostles, and baskets for the fragments). But we do not rely on them. We use worldly means; we rely on divine grace.
Our current crisis is not due to a lack of human ingenuity or worldly resources. The Church as constituted in Germany is wealthy — and obsolete. It is a crisis of faith and the lack of a supernatural
outlook, a failure of confidence in His grace and truth. This scene indicates that such has always been the temptation of the shepherds, and that only by way of such confidence can shepherds feed the flock.
In Saint Mark’s account, when the Apostles voice their concerns about the hungry crowd, Jesus responds, “Give them some food yourselves.” This response has the same purpose as His question about buying enough bread: to bring the Apostles face to face with their — and the world’s — inadequacy. It also leads us to a second pastoral lesson: our Lord incorporates the Apostles into His working of the miracle. He has them tell the people to recline. He has them distribute the loaves and fish. He thus makes them coworkers in the feeding of His flock, participants in that divine work.
Consider the situation of the Apostles. They had to possess both the authority to accomplish what He asked and the humility to do it as ministers. Yes, He had entrusted this task to them, not others. Still, it was His miracle, not theirs. If they don’t exercise that authority, the miracle is impeded. If they don’t do so humbly, it becomes about them and is, again, impeded.
Ecclesial authority is ordered to the handing on of what Christ has given. The twofold temptation for shepherds has always been either to neglect their genuine authority or to abuse it for selfish gain. Or both. As this scene indicates, they are to be ministers, not masters, of Christ’s grace and truth. Theirs is but to do and disappear.
Then comes the final, somewhat curious, command: “Gather the fragments left over, so that nothing will be wasted.” It seems superfluous. Surely, the One Who multiplies loaves and fish need not concern Himself with leftovers. Of course, He gives the command not for His own benefit but for theirs — and ours.
It is an apostolic duty to gather up what Christ has given — so that it can be handed down to others. This is the grave obligation the Shepherds have to Tradition. They have authority precisely so that they can gather up and hand down the Church’s liturgical and doctrinal
patrimony. Failure to do so detaches their authority from Tradition and thus distorts it. Without the content of Tradition, without a reference to generations past and future, authority becomes just an exercise of power here and now. It leads to a magisterial positivism that values Church authority, not because of its service to what was received and should be handed on, but simply because it has the power to compel.
Such an exchange of authority for positivism traps the faithful in a particular moment of time. It makes them prisoners of the present, temporal orphans with no tradition to receive and, therefore, nothing to hand on to future generations. This dangerous situation makes the faithful prey to whatever new ideas or, more likely, ideologies come along. With no Tradition in which they can stand and by which they can discern, they fall easily into error.
Like the crowds that followed our Lord into the deserted place, the faithful need true shepherds — who rely on Christ’s grace and Truth, who exercise genuine authority humbly, and who faithfully preserve and hand on the Church’s Tradition. Fr. Paul Scalia is a priest of the Diocese of Arlington, Virginia, where he serves as Episcopal Vicar for Clergy and Pastor of Saint James in Falls Church. He is the author of That Nothing May Be Lost: Reflections on Catholic Doctrine and Devotion and the editor of Sermons in Times of Crisis: Twelve Homilies to Stir Your Soul.
Those Disastrous Trade-Offs by Randall Smith One of the valuable lessons classic economics can teach us is that there are always trade-offs. If you invest in one thing, you won’t be investing in another. You can see the bridge you spent money on, but you don’t see the hundreds of things not done because you spent money on the bridge.
When I was chairman of my university’s curriculum committee, proposals abounded trumpeting wonderful new courses. My question was “What are you going to stop doing in order to do this?” “No, no,” people insisted, “we will continue doing all the wonderful things we do now.” “No, you won’t,” I would say. “Everyone is working a full schedule. So the only way you could possibly do all these new things is to stop doing some of the things you do now.”
This never went over well. We have students in colleges across the
country who can’t write a paragraph, do basic math, or read a relatively easy forty pages in a work of non-fiction. No one has ever asked them to follow an argument, let alone formulate one. And the little they know about the U.S. Constitution and American history is mostly wrong.
So what were they doing for twelve full years of schooling? It clearly wasn’t twelve years of solid training in reading, writing, and arithmetic. There was precious little history or literature. And these young people have little or no knowledge of the treasures of beauty to be found in nature, art, or architecture. I ask again, “What were these students doing for twelve years instead of reading, writing, and arithmetic, because they clearly weren’t doing as much of that as they needed?”
The problem is not much different — and in some ways worse — in Catholic schools. Twelve years of “Catholic” education, and if you ask students to finish this triad: “Abraham, Isaac, and ______?” they can’t do it. “What is Pentecost?” Blank stares. Ask them to list the Ten Commandments. Ninety percent will get it wrong. They aren’t any better at reading, writing, or math than their peers, and worse yet, at the basic tenets that will lead to salvation. Meanwhile, they’ve been taught to equate Catholic social justice with progressivism.
If you hired someone to take care of your yard, and they worked week after week, Monday through Friday, and at the end of
the year, you found the grass not mowed, weeds choking everything, and all the flowers dead, you might wonder, “What were you guys doing?” If they then showed you the fire pit they dug in your yard, which you didn’t want, and then piles of trees they had cut that you wanted kept, you might understand better what they were doing all that time, but you still might wonder why they did it.
And this gets us closer to the nub of the problem. What is education for? When we thought education began in wonder and was about exploring the world, reading great books, figuring out the complex intricacies of math, and learning to think and express ourselves clearly, and ultimately understanding our relationship to God, we prepared young people pretty well for a worthwhile lifetime. Now that bureaucrats insist education is about preparing people for jobs and for being woke citizens, our students not only aren’t prepared for jobs or citizenship, they can’t do long division, or read Shakespeare or Scripture.
Our society emphasizes process over purpose. The unfortunate consequence is that we also end up emphasizing process over persons. Education is now more about fulfilling the dictates of bureaucrats than about truly fulfilling the future of students.
Bureaucrats who know little or nothing about teaching feel very comfortable telling actual teachers how they should do their jobs. With each passing “bold, new educational initiative” come more forms for teachers to fill out, more interminable meetings about “assessment,” less time for individual instruction, and less opportunity to find creative ways of teaching the basic material students need to know.
And, as every teacher knows, as soon as a new principal or a new superintendent of schools arrives, whether public school or Catholic school, it will be out with the old/new program and in with another bold new program, with new directives to read over, more “teaching training” sessions, different forms to fill out, and more interminable meetings to make sure everyone is completely “on board” with the new program. The results are rarely better than before, usually worse, but this is immaterial because administrators rarely stay around for long and are animated by ideology rather than experience.
So here’s a suggestion: Ask the person applying to be principal of your school or the superintendent of the school system
how many students he or she has taught in an actual classroom. Not, “how many advanced degrees do you have?” or “how many elite administrative positions have you held?” But “how many actual students have you taught?” No one should be managing teachers who hasn’t had at least ten years of successful teaching experience.
Teachers can teach reading, writing, arithmetic, and basic science to students who want to learn. When we try to get schools to do a hundred other things, they will end up doing none of them well. Schools were not organized to be nor are they qualified to be therapy centers or social programming departments. They are also not churches. Unfortunately, many schools have become places where society dumps all the toxic waste from its cultural dysfunction. This is a burden schools cannot possibly bear and still do what they were established to do.
The Catholic liberal arts intellectual tradition provides resources unsurpassed in the world. And at a time when the public schools are destroying themselves, running after every educational and cultural fad, the Catholic Church has an unmatched opportunity to introduce more and more young people to the life-altering wonders of that tradition. It is an opportunity we are repeatedly squandering, and for which our children and grandchildren will not judge us well. Randall B. Smith is a Professor of Theology at the University of Saint Thomas.

Happy Birthday! May God richly bless you on your special day. It will be our privilege to remember you at the altar during the celebration of Holy Mass as we offer the Victim.
Father Crochet and Father Godwin
Fête-Dieu du Teche 2021 to take place Sunday August 15 in honor of the Christian famly. Seventh Annual 40-mile Eucharistic Procession will be offered in prayer for
the sanctification and unification of families. This year the Assumption boat procession occurs during the Year of Saint Joseph and the Year of the Family. Families are encouraged to register a family boat or gather as a family at one or more of the stops along the procession route.
The day begins at 8:00 a.m. with Sunday Mass in French by Bishop Douglas Deshotel at Saint Leo the Great Catholic Church in Leonville. Following the Mass there will be a procession with the Blessed Sacrament and a statue of Mary and Saint Joseph to the nearby boat landing. Families are encouraged to join the procession as a family and follow to the boat landing for Benediction. At 9:30 a.m. boats will depart in procession down the Teche toward Saint Martinville, retracing the voyage made by the Acadians over 250 years ago. Bayou residents are encouraged to gather as a family and greet the Blessed Sacrament as it passes near their home.
The boat procession will stop at churches in the towns along the Teche for Rosary and Benediction: • A r r i v i n g a t
Arnaudville behind Saint Francis Regis at 10:20 a.m.
• Arriving behind Sa in t Jose ph Church in Cecilia at 11:45 a.m.
• Arriving at the Pavilion behind Saint Bernard Church in Breaux Bridge at 1:35 p.m.
• Arriving at the park behind Saint Joseph Church in Parks at 3:15 p.m.
• Finally arriving at Old Market Street in Saint Martinville at about 4:45 p.m.
Upon arriving in Saint Martinville, a foot procession will commence to Notre Dame de Perpetual Secours for Benediction, then to Saint Martin de Tours for Benediction, and finally down Main Street to Mater Dolorosa Chapel for Solemn Vespers and Benediction at 6:00 p.m. Confessions will be heard in mobile units at each of the stops along the way.
Pope Francis has granted participants of Fȇte-Dieu du Teche a Plenary Indulgence. The indulgence is valid on August 15 for those who attend the 8:00 a.m. French Mass in Leonville, those who make the procession by boat, and
those who participate in the devotions at one of the many stops along the Teche. Those who are impeded for a serious reason from physically attending the procession may also gain the indulgence by spiritually uniting their prayers and trials. The Holy Father asks participants to pray for fidelity to the Christian vocation, for the good of the family, and for priestly and religious vocations. If you have a boat, register now:

If you don’t have a boat, follow by vehicle and join us at one or all of the stops for the Rosary and Benediction. For more information visit our website at www.jesuscrucified.net, visit us on FaceBook at:
