To the editor:
The sex scandal within the Catholic Church has made it even harder for those good priests who have given their lives for serving God.
The one, true, Catholic Church, if understood by all, should not lose members, but gain new converts each day. It is not only the sex scandal but the lack of solid teaching that has put us in this situation.
To the editor:
As we hear about and discuss the serious and continuing sex scandal within the Catholic Church, let’s start by placing the blame where it belongs — squarely on the failed leadership of the hierarchy of the Catholic Church. The failure has been caused by a lack of true leadership skills and being controlled by vanity and arrogance.
Robert K. Greenleaf was an advocate for Servant Leadership, and in the worldwide history of mankind, the greatest example of a servant leader was Jesus Christ. Jesus was critical of the Pharisees stating in Matthew 23: 2-3, 5, “The scribes and the Pharisees have succeeded Moses as teachers; therefore, do everything and observe everything they tell you. But do not follow their example . . . All their works are performed to be seen.”
