Papal visit: Bungled planning and embarrassing leaflets expose the public sector mentality of Church bureaucrats
The Church’s bureaucracy has far too much of the flavour of the public sector. You have large numbers of people doing really quite cushy jobs, but with little benefit to the Church.

In the process of back-pedalling out of venues (Coventry) and sending uninspiring and error-strewn promotional material to parishes and schools, the organisers of this visit have wasted millions of pounds. Where was Archbishop Nichols in all this? Surely he should have been monitoring their lack of progress and taking action against those responsible for the chaos.
