That sentiment is echoed by a surprisingly wide cross section of clerics who think that the former Pope's flair for the symbolic gesture sometimes came at the expense of administrative housecleaning.

...front cover, replacing the old wood engraving of two Victorian gents in top hats playing cricket, which had appeared on the cover since 1938.

I thought for a while that if sections were organized by personality type, perhaps that would solve the problem (shy brilliant kids: Monday at 1; tweed-jacketed know-it-alls: Thursday at 3). Unfortunately, that’s not liable to happen; confrontational people aren’t going anywhere, and they’re hard to avoid. They’re cropping up in class, at work, and on public transportation. We can’t hide forever, but what we can do is refuse to tolerate their rudeness by being proactive. Imagine what would happen...
