Serve the World, Receive Its Praises

Feast of St. Damasus I, Pope and Confessor

How to become Time Magazine's Man of the Year:

Step 1.  Finagle your way to the top of a religious organization.

Step 2.  Remind everyone of how humble you are whenever possible.

Step 3.  Throw your organization's traditions under the bus you say you ride around in.

Step 4.  Marginalize and insult anybody who doesn't like the "new way."

Step 5.  Totally misrepresent the very nature of your organization.

Step 6.  Accept the Man of the Year honor -- humbly, of course!
