Military Innovation - Could the Catholic Church be Next?

Listen to this NPR Interview  with General Martin Dempsey, Chairman of the Joint Chief of Staff to hear the content. Then listen again for the processes the military is using to define the current climate for  women and gays in the military and change the culture. The process is fascinating. 

In 2020, when the baby boomers’ boomlet no longer supplies baby boys to fight, and the technology of robotics and drones are not yet mature, the US military will still need grunts. Gays and girls are a new source of soldier. The military is implementing processes to understand the difference between climate and culture. They are using strategies used by innovation houses, inverting the paradigm, for example, to move from regulation, to letting in a crack of light to explain why, then shattering the barriers and asking, why not? I appreciate 
that there are people who want to defend our country and at this moment are not allowed to do so. I wish to God that they’d use that energy they focused on the military for a more uplifting objective, but that’s not their focus.  I oddly find myself appreciative that the military is changing and sees that society benefits when equal opportunity exists. 

If this institution can bend, could the Catholic church be next?
