"The presumtion [sic], by these people, that they, by virtue of ordination, are now community leaders."

Well it's not presumed by me nor by what I wrote. I mentioned pastors, which priests do not automatically become on the day of their ordination. They have to be appointed by a bishop in order to assume that kind of responsibility, which is in fact a kind of community leader - the community being the parish family.

Now if you have a problem with the concept of patriarchy or matriarchy in general that is another matter entirely. I'm not sure why anyone would object to someone being "like a mother" or a "like a father" unless you just prefer the idea of strict communality, which is mostly impractical in this day and age. My guess is that most parishes like having someone in charge whom they pay to take care of parish matters since they have their own lives to worry about. In Catholic churches that person is called the Pastor.
