I am not surprised, but it is good to know so sources can be cited. It is also interesting because it presents a fascinating situation to see how an organisation like the Church deals with distributed leadership while not having firm control, as yet, over the ethics and values of the leaders. This, I suppose, is at the core of the "subsidiarity" issue. <br /><br />It also shows the problem of initiative with discretion. When I was a child my mother had the knack of telling me to clean my room even as i was in the process. It always took the satisfaction from it. Poor Pope Benedict can't win for losing: he acts firmly and discretely with adults, yet is assailed for not making a show of it back when he started.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-84054699570734717162010-04-07T09:23:30.750-04:002010-04-07T09:23:30.750-04:00Speaking of speakers: Wold DEARLY love to see Fr....Speaking of speakers: Wold DEARLY love to see Fr.
