Or maybe the Clergy is just more sinfull than me

It sounds bad to see that other thread with it's "Better People" and all.

SO looking at it the other way might be more polite.

Where Are All the Leaders of Faith?
by Helen Thomas


Where are the activist priests and ministers who took strong stands during the Vietnam War and hit the streets with their protests?

Three years into the war against Iraq, the silence of the clergy is deafening, despite U.S. abuse of prisoners at Abu Ghraib and a reported American policy of shipping detainees to secret prisons abroad where, presumably, they can be tortured.

K - so the leaders of faith are sinfully silent on the war. Their own leaders told them to shut up about it, to be sure.
It reminds me of the Catholic priests who have yet to stand up and declare what they know, even tho it could help some victims. It seems like NOT ONE of them testified against another pedophile priest, certainly not many came forward with information or to surrender on their own

If this is the leaders of churches, their extra training and study and dedication and all that didn't make them into moral beings, and so their flocks won't get that benefit they thought was inferred. There is an idea that if you go to church and listen to the good messages and sermons and do the routines, you get closer to god. Otherwise, religion would all be in the home, not in gatherings.

Churches were formed so people could be minsitered to. Maybe its better to not have churches, just the relationship with god if you must. Tweet
