Is there a 'Refuse to Listen' or 'declines to look' or even 'Aspirant to higher office' category? Contender could well be the Current Pope and a stunning new kid on the block, one A/Bishop Timothy Costelloe, Arch Diocese of Perth Western Australia...
ReplyDeleteLiving people who inspire us?

ReplyDeleteActually, there are so many 'organisations' under the leadership of the past several decades, this might prove a really fruitful (or nauseating) search. Being in the States, I may win this particular category if it shows up.
DeleteAnd only 88% have rejected de Sinodality in de Vatican poll.
