rotten fish theology
The saying goes: The fish rots from the head down.
Meaning: When an organization or state fails, it is the leadership that is the root cause.
SP notes that part of the problem behind the recent accidents in the USNavy can be attributed to leadership problem. Yes, there is over work and transition, but having yes men in leadership has made these normal situations worse.
The two destroyers that suffered fatal collisions had some of the worst readiness and training ratings in the entire fleet. These ratings are there to spotlight ships, and their crews, that need the most attention from senior leadership, especially the fleet commander. That was not happening
telling your superiors they are wrong and you need more money or fewer things doesn't get get you promoted, so the ones who kept quiet stayed and the trouble makers quit, or were dropped (the rule is that if you don't get promoted, you end up retired).
this last part means that a lot of qualified people won't be there to fill in the gaps if they fire the laggards.
but will things get better?
.. since the new Secretary of Defense is a retired (in 2013) marine general with firsthand experience with what was going wrong in the navy, the admiral responsible was held accountable in the traditional way.
translation: the Admiral was fired. Marines tend to be more bad ass than a peacetime navy.

we see a similar problem in the Catholic church, where a clueless Pope seems to want to be liked by his peers in the NWO (e.g. global warming and a green agenda that includes population control-- some of those pushing this have actually been welcomed at the Vatican) than worrying about little things like holiness in life and the ten commandments.
Yes, I know: the Pope does condemn abortion, immorality, and even corrupt politicians, but not as vigorously as he has his minions condemn The saying goes: The fish rots from the head down.

Yes, I know: the Pope does condemn abortion, immorality, and even corrupt politicians, but not as vigorously as he has his minions condemn bishops who say: "Wait a second: your trojan horse letter "the joy of sex" has confused not only people but a lot of bishops. Please clarify"
so the next step is obvious:
even Crux notes that the Pope has "overhauled the church's pro life beachead" by removing those pesky rigid ethicists.

the members removed were too rigid, the archbishop said:
If one reads the explanation of the Cardinal in charge, and read between the lines, you get the impression that the moral fuzzyness of the Joy of sex is now being smuggled into the bioethics experts in the Vatican.
and we are already seeing the fruits of this moral fuzzyness: Father Z reports and translates:
Cardinal Caffarra who protested the Pope's letter had his speech read to a conference phrases it this way:
without guidelines, morality and ethics degenerates into "who am I to judge". Which sounds nice and compassionate, until you realize that ten percent of the population has sociopathic tendencies, and even those who want to be good are no longer taught right from wrong.
“The evil in the world comes almost always from ignorance, and goodwill can cause as much damage as ill-will if it is not enlightened. People are more often good than bad, though in fact that is not the question. But they are more or less ignorant and this is what one calls vice or virtue, the most appalling vice being the ignorance that thinks it knows everything and which consequently authorizes itself to kill. The murderer's soul is blind, and there is no true goodness or fine love without the greatest possible degree of clear-sightedness.” ― Albert Camus, The Plague
Niceness and goodness is not the same, as one tart tongued Catholic writer noted:
it was a non Catholic psychiatrist who wrote the book What ever happened to sin?
and I can think of a dozen quotes from the bible prophets about bad watchmen who don't guard the gates.
and maybe the Pope should read a book by a good atheist to figure out where his duty lies.

(italiccs mine).
ROME - Pope Francis on Tuesday appointed 45 news members to the Pontifical Academy for Life, long regarded as the Vatican’s primary beachhead for the most robustly pro-life voices in the Church, signaling that while he doesn’t intend to muzzle the pro-life argument, he wants a body less inclined to be pugnacious or rambunctious.
The new members named by Francis include a mix of clergy and laity, and also feature a number of non-Catholics, including other Christians, followers of other religions, and non-believers.what could go wrong? Uh oh...
more HERE.
the members removed were too rigid, the archbishop said:
he has had to make logistical adjustments to the academy to cooperate closely with the Curial bodies, particularly the new Dicastery for Laity, Family and Life.
If one reads the explanation of the Cardinal in charge, and read between the lines, you get the impression that the moral fuzzyness of the Joy of sex is now being smuggled into the bioethics experts in the Vatican.

The Belgian “We Kill You™” Brothers of Charity, are defying the Holy See to continue their policy of euthanasia for non-terminal psychiatric patients.. HERE
Cardinal Caffarra who protested the Pope's letter had his speech read to a conference phrases it this way:
It is in the liberal principle that Newman individuates the principle factor of the reduction of the conscience to a simple personal opinion, which nobody has the authority to judge.
without guidelines, morality and ethics degenerates into "who am I to judge". Which sounds nice and compassionate, until you realize that ten percent of the population has sociopathic tendencies, and even those who want to be good are no longer taught right from wrong.

Niceness and goodness is not the same, as one tart tongued Catholic writer noted:
Flannery O'Connor... originated that seemingly paradoxical phrase in her introduction to a book called Memoir of Mary Ann, a book about a seriously ill and severely disfigured young girl cared for by the Dominican Sisters of Hawthorne. ... O'Connor wrote: "In the absence of faith, we govern by tenderness, and tenderness leads to the gas chamber."
it was a non Catholic psychiatrist who wrote the book What ever happened to sin?
and I can think of a dozen quotes from the bible prophets about bad watchmen who don't guard the gates.
and maybe the Pope should read a book by a good atheist to figure out where his duty lies.
"Many fledgling moralists in those days were going about our town proclaiming there was nothing to be done about it and we should bow to the inevitable. And Tarrou, Rieux, and their friends might give one answer or another, but its conclusion was always the same, their certitude that a fight must be put up, in this way or that, and there must be no bowing down." -Albert Camus, The Plague, Part 2
