Another snide innuendo presented as a pseudo-question. Trolls are trolls,irrespective of religious orientation. No,he used the term metaphorically. And Catholics are very independent-minded people. So are Episcopalians,Lutherans and Presbyterians. I'm sorry if you've only known fundies; perhaps a better neighborhood?

No, sheep is just an analogy for people. Sheep are dumb and
need a Shepherd and we need our great Shepherd because
we are dumb and do stupid things. He is the Great Shepherd!

He refers to Himself as the good shepherd. Sometimes when speaking of sheep, He is referring to "His" flock, i.e., believers in Him.
