The examples of bad leadership in Matthew 23:1-12 are not exclusive to the Church. Self-centered leadership that places heavy burdens on others is everywhere. When a bank CEO takes a quarter billion dollar bonus, a bailout from the government but asks employees to sacrifice bonuses and pay raises, that is bad leadership. When a congressional leader asks the poor to pay higher taxes than the wealthy, that is bad leadership. When the medical community demands high titles, earns among the highest incomes in our society, charges Americans twice as much as the rest of the world, yet cannot provide health care for the poor and cannot guarantee insurance coverage for every need, that is bad leadership. Bad leadership is all around us. The Church is called in the midst of all this to provide good leadership individually and collectively.
