In an opinion piece for the Huffington Post, Rev. Thomas Worcester, S.J., professor of history at the College of the Holy Cross, writes about leadership in the Catholic Church today.
"I believe that leadership has to do with excellence and with passionate and exemplary performance of a given role or task. Thus, leadership may be found in any profession or vocation within the Church, including those of teachers, scholars, writers, pastoral ministers, chaplains, whether they are celibate or married, men or women," he wrote.
"To look for credible, viable, meaningful leadership among administrators only is to put on severely restrictive blinders and to miss the good news of competent, abundant leaders all around us. We need but to open our eyes and recognize them."
