Regarding: "There's got to be more to leadership than writing encyclicals and giving speeches."
- You made a good analysis.
- There probably is more to leadership than writing encyclicals and giving speeches.  
- JPII's leadership was certainly 'more'. However, it certainly left a mess and unleashed the pure catholic church crowd and 'the smaller and purer church'.
- Being a pastor like ArchbFrancis of Rome means that leadership is from the midst of the people of God, not ahead or above them -- which is often the paradigm of leadership. The locus of his leadership could explain why the standard norms of leadership such as exhibited by JPII are no where in sight.
