change at the top
By Diogenes (articles ) | July 22, 2005 10:48 AM
The diocese is in trouble. Mass attendance is down; parishes are closing; the seminary is empty; the laity is angry; the priests are demoralized; the victims' attornies are jubilant; the district attorney is suspicious.
Finally the bishop resigns, and a new bishop is assigned to take his place.
Don't you wish that once-- just once-- the new bishop would say something like what was said by the new head of the Kodak Corporation:
"Our disappointing start in the first half of this year makes it clear that I need to make some changes, and make them now," Antonio Perez, who took over as chief executive in June, said in a prepared statement. "We cannot continue with this bleeding year after year."

Tremendous analogy, Diogenes. One the bishops at the next USCCB meeting might find helpful in administering their dioceses... I pray.

Funny that you should mention Kodak which has its headquarters in Rochester, NY, where, except for the bishop resigning, the entire rest of the first paragraph is entirely true.
