'democracy' takes no account of God given gifts and talents.

On the subject of lay involvement in local affairs.
We had a parish priest some time ago who was quite adamant that the local church (buildings etc.) was no concern of his.
His only concern was responsibility for the keys of the tabernacle and priest to the people.
Outside that, it was the people who should look after the rest.
He maintained priests only became involved when the people did not.

Don't know what the historical evolutionary position is but it would seem logical.

Leadership is a talent that we need to encourage, there is also the gift of being well led.

It is helpful in parish communities for the priest to identify those in the congregation who have leadership qualities. They should be encouraged to do the tasks that need that gift.

I don't know if he is misquoted here but I would imagine leadership as a quality to make him do what he "doesn't" want to do.
Otherwise it's just discussing and organising amongst each other'

No the quote is correct. Think about it.

Did,

Still think I prefer Tom Landry.

“Leadership is getting someone to do what they don't want to do, to achieve what they want to achieve.”
Tom Landry quotes
