Ideology is the enemy of discernment

Wise words from Australian Jesuit priest and author Richard Leonard:

Ideology is the enemy of true discernment. 

 It predetermines the outcome to every conversation, cuts across a spirit of curiosity and humility towards new opportunities, and leaves no room for the Holy Spirit to prompt and move us to new responses to new contexts and issues.
