And they have not been very well served by the laity when, in the past I might add, and in all good faith the appointments they made (governors, advisors and the like especially trustees) have proved in hindsight to contain many persons who let them down. I am thinking of the fiasco concerning SORS, Catholic Hospitals, etc. when lay decisions turned against them. The bishops and parish priests would do well to check up on whom they are appointing. Being known as a person willing to serve on every committee going, progressing up the ladder to trusteeship, is not necessarily an indication of competence. The bishops brought those problems upon themselves. A trustee told me the Diocese could not be held responsible if a hyperactive child who was in the habit of running all the way across a car park, went over an unfenced three foot drop, onto concrete, it was the mother's responsibility to watch the child. That trustee did not believe a land owner is bound by law to protect children from danger points that attract them. The trustee had obviously not been trained in the legal responsibilities of trusteeship. The truth is, our dioceses try to save money by using the services of amateurs at the highest level. Professional advice costs far less than compensation.
