Research confirms that people of all ages instinctively build upon what they see and hear to achieve new learning. After all, isn’t firsthand experience a natural lifelong pathway to knowledge and understanding?
The answer, of course, is yes, provided that all relevant information is available and considered in proper context. Consider the following true story.
During World War II, Allied forces were losing many aircraft to enemy ground fire. British Air Ministry experts recognized that planes returning from missions were riddled with bullets throughout the wings and fuselage. They studied which of these large surfaces was most important to fit with armor, but the solution was elusive because aircraft can only have a limited amount of armor and remain airborne.
An outside mathematician named Abraham Wald was consulted, and he soon saw what military experts had overlooked. He concluded that the sections most damaged by bullets were precisely the areas that should not be reinforced with armor.
He understood that planes returning from their missions were able to sustain the damage and still make it home. It was the aircraft that suffered damage to the cockpit and tail section that did not return from missions, and thus those were the most vulnerable areas.
Because Wald saw what was not there, he prevented Air Ministry leaders from pursuing a flawed solution and in so doing, saved the lives of thousands of Allied flight crews.

Sponsored by the Archdiocese of Louisville Office of Youth and Young Adults and part of the Arch Lou Podcast Network, Burning Within Us is now available on major podcast platforms. The first episode of this new podcast for youth, young adults, and families seeking to deepen their relationship with Christ premiered on Ash Wednesday.
Hosted by Aaron Frazita, Associate Director of the Office of Youth and Young Adults in the Archdiocese of Louisville, and Carly Crawford, a nursing student at the University of Kentucky, each episode will take a five-minute (or so) look at the Sunday Gospel reading.
You can listen to this week’s episode or previous episodes and subscribe here.
Synod on Synodality
Pope Francis has invited the Catholic faithful to take part in the preparation for the 2023 Synod of Bishops in our own Archdiocese and parishes. He has issued this invitation because he understands that our stories illustrate how faith comes alive in the concrete realities of our daily lives. Guided by the Holy Spirit and informed by Sacred Scripture and the tradition of our Church, we have this wonderful opportunity to share our stories, insights, and hopes for our Church and to consider what the Holy Spirit is saying to us through our dialogue. For more information, see this Listening Session Participant Overview.
Parishes are beginning to schedule listening sessions. Please go here for a list of listening sessions that are open to the public. This list will continue to be updated as sessions are scheduled. This web page also contains other resources on the Synod process in the Archdiocese of Louisville. Questions? Call or email Tink Guthrie at 502-585-3291 or tguthrie@archlou.org.
Catholic Charities Update
The new Catholic Charities Center is underway. We have waited almost three years to start building a new headquarters that will serve many in need throughout the Archdiocese of Louisville. This new building will allow us to assist even more people and enhance services. Visit here to learn more.
