Today, more than ever, the Catholic Church is in need of men and women who can lead. Easier said than done! We are in desperate need of leaders who have the courage to do and say the things that need be said and done. We also need leaders who possess a great deal of common sense and a practical understanding of the "real world"

In the not to distant past, the priest was the best educated man in the community. He was looked up to and respected...no more!......Today the lay men and woman in the pews are often better educated than the priest and they expect more from their spiritual leader. A priest who spews pious platitudes and proves to be an ineptitude leader will fade quickly into irrelevance and take the Church with him.
