2. Great leaders often demand the supreme sacrifice-Napoleon, Patton, Eisenhower...Jesus Christ. The less our leaders ask of us, the less inspiring they are.

3. Mitigation is killing monasticism. Trappists are disappearing with the disappearance of their charism, relentlessly softened in the post war years.

4. In the Church as in the world "Luxury is more ruthless than war." It is killing us.
