Our modern leaders appear to be chosen because they are great administrators, not great theologians, thinkers, philosophers or scientists. Our bureaucracy is large and perhaps that is the sort of leader which we need today, but if you look at the debates within the Church at the turn of the century and its participants, much of what we rely upon today was artuiculated then, and the modern leaders do more administration than philosophizing.
