Being the Vatican

The Times Online UK reports that the Vatican will "claim bishops are not 'employees.'" If this is so, the Catholic Church is acting like the big immoral corporation that many assume it is. This is shameful!

Judith,

Now this is just sad! Talk about bankrupting the credibility account. I understand the financial reasons for this lame attempt to escape accountability but how does one justify the obvious disconnect between what you preach and what you practice?

True that, Dave!

The Catholic Church is the best argument I know against top down authoritarian management. You could turn this into a simple formula...
HIERARCHY + AUTOCRACY + BUREAUCRACY + SECRECY + BELIEF IN ONE'S INFALLIBILITY = CUSTOMER & EMPLOYEE ABUSE + COVER-UP.

Bravo, John! Simple enough formula indeed.
