Into the breech: let's discuss the Law

Prep for this Sunday's exploration of the Law as it pertains to the Church: Have a look here at the West Wing's comment on the Law. What's credible about Bartlett's portrayal? What's conveniently left out of his tirade that might undercut his case? We'll try to nail down how the Church ought to regard the Law--Law as the instructions God gives us. And we'll also try to make sense of all the different kinds of laws--some as odd as they are old to us--we find in the Old Testament: which laws are no longer binding on the Church and how can we, if at all , discern the difference.
