Rather they will end up being simply restatements of current positions with more antagonistic rhetoric. I would suggest that the Swetland/Saunders article, if not the most compelling, should at least be held up as the model for charitable discourse.  Here is my recommendation.  Write the first draft venting one’s spleens if he must, but in the editing process first pray the Litany of Humility, and then, rewrite.

While each situation is different, I would suspect that any self-image problems that are not due to some pathology, probably have something to do with not following one of the litany humility dictums. In any case, I certainly cannot see rejecting any of the Litany as a solution to a self-image problem. Couln’t this lead to a poor self image?

I really need to read it more often because I stuggle alot with false humility. When I lower myself, I find the time to let someone know that I have done so (which is kind of like what I'm doing in this post). Striving for humility is what the interior life is all about. I'll practice by signing anonymous just this one time. I have the Litany above my bed at college. I really need to read it more often because I stuggle alot with false humility.

The more I read on the subject and examine my conscience, the more I realize how much my pride dictates so many of my daily actions. The Litany of Humility by Cardinal Raphael Merry del Val is so beautiful and holy. Thanks for your posts!!! Humility.
