text: Business change-management strategies needed?  Is that all it will take to bring Catholics back into the pews?  Not to disparage Lowry's book describing "an 'EASTeR' strategy...to be entrepreneurial, be accountable, serve, transform, and reach out," but SOMETHING VERY IMPORTANT seems to be missing here! 
  
  If the church is merely a non-profit business with buildings and programs to maintain, then surely these ideas should be the answer that parishes are looking for.
  
  HOWEVER, Anyone old enough and fortunate enough to have been part of a flourishing Vatican II parish will remember Lowry's strategy was common practice ...ENERGIZED, however, by the SPIRIT OF VATICAN II.
  
  Many "fallen away" Catholics today remember being told to leave leadership to the clergy and return to post-Trent theology and practice.  They GASPED and eventually left when even the "spirit of Vatican II" was derided and suppressed by pope and priest alike.  Surely, more is needed! Google Rite Beyond Rome(dotcom).
