Good column and I wholeheartedly concur with the goals as stated by Fr Jenkins.
However, ND had a golden opportunity to put forth the themes espoused by Fr Jenkins recently during the CFP expansion discussion, and instead punted. (puns intended) Even worse, we didn't just oppose the expansion, we authored it!
Flowering op-eds with high ideas are nice, but true courage and leadership are expressed by actions, and not just words.
