Today's word

vilipend \VIL-uh-pend\ - 1. to hold or treat as of little worth or account : contemn  2. to express a low opinion of : disparage
What a great new word, and one to which I fear I am entirely too prone, in its first sense. I think that the most important part of Pope Francis' messages to us involve being on guard against this tendency.
