grace of state

The going-out-of-business sale continues in the Boston archdiocese, where Cardinal Sean O'Malley has announced plans to unload the Caritas Christi hospital chain.

As the Boston Globe story explains, the archdiocese had been looking for a new executive to head Caritas Christi, but the search...

...was put on hold last fall after O'Malley hired a strategic consultant, Navigant Consulting Inc. , of Chicago, to help determine whether healthcare should continue to be a core part of the archdiocese's mission, or whether it should focus exclusively on parish life and Catholic education.

Nice to know that, when a cardinal-archbishop needs to define the core mission of the local Church, he can call on a good solid professional consulting firm. What a pity that Navigant wasn't around when the 12 apostles were setting up shop!
