I totally agree with you.

The inordinate regard all to often given to other people is, in my opinion, a serious error.

Father Corapi, Father Euteneuer and others illustrate this all too painfully.

FReepers who give disproportionate attention to the Hahns and others are recklessly setting them up for a fall. It’s shameful.

Ping to 31.

Those who TRUELY love the Hahns just might take heed.

Well, Father Corapi is gone and no one seems to know where he is. He WAS inspirational. I don't know of Father Euteneuer. I guess he was made a celeb.
I always thought Father Corapi was humble enough, but his T.V. personna didn't show us what his real life was like, obviously.
I wish him well.

I have also thought that Scott Hahn was humble enough too. He ALWAYS speaks about his former faith with love and understanding. But I know what you mean.

People set themselves up for disappointment. I don't think this is new or original. People look for heroes; always have; always will. We don't ever get better ourselves unless we have someone to look up to. Jesus SHOULD be the only one, but, I guess we just won't give up on heroes.
