I had the misfortune of attending one of those crazy meetings today, this time in the Bishop's house for planning the Archbishop's Golden Jubilee of Ordination. Gosh!! What a confusion. After two hours of discussing back and forth, we arrived at exactly what was stated right in the beginning by the chairperson (and which was vehemently opposed then).
Besides, this was another confirmation of the fact that talkers are never doers! Those who talked, only talked since when it came to volunteering and proposing something positive and possible, the big-mouths were invisible. In fact, it was embarrassing to see lay people more zealous and pleading the Priests to come forward and take initiative.
This actually teaches us that that the best way to shut up - hard and for good - those who only talk is to propose their name for a serious responsibility. If not, cut them short and ask them to own up or propose something possible and concrete.
