Upon listening to the most recent episode, I discovered (to my chagrin) that I’d made some embarrassing errors of memory, particularly in (to my shame) my references to Christ’s parables. I seem to have stupidly conflated the parables of the pearl, the hidden treasure, and the lost sheep. Also, I apparently conflated sermons enlarging upon the parable of the good Samaritan with the parable itself: the actual parable attributes no motives to those who pass by the wounded man on the road.
So, mea culpa.
