Renegade Clergy

It's written in James 3:1 that teachers should voluntarily hold themselves to a higher standard, knowing that they will be judged more strictly. Clergies are like us mortals, who are not perfect, who all sin, and who need prayers. We should desist from passing judgement. Do not judge. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you (Mathew 7). However, the conduct of some clergies are not and cannot be left to the afterlife for God to pass judgement. If they joined the ordained ministry to inspire and prepare God's people for eternal life, it is incumbent upon them to do so in a manner befitting their holy orders. And if this book will be seen as judging these wayward clergy harshly, with all the embarrassment they are causing the church, the church of our savior and advocate, then this is my mea culpa. If I will be accused of spilling the beans outside of the family of Christians by exposing too much of the dirty linen, linen that should be left inside our church closets, then this is my mea maxima culpa. My conscience cannot allow me to close my eyes to the debauchery, opacity, deceit, pride, witchcraft, and black magic that has turned our holy places into the halls of shame that they currently are. As you will find out in the book, majority of clergy are just fine clerics, working hard under very difficult conditions, but the few rotten apples should not be tolerated as they continue to wreak havoc among the flock simply because we should not judge them.

PAUL'S LETTER TO ROMANS 2:17-23

Now you, if you call yourself a Jew;

if you rely on the law and boast in God;

if you know his will and approve of what is superior because you are instructed by the law;

if you are convinced that you are a guide for the blind, a light for those who are in the dark, an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of little children, because you have in the law the embodiment of knowledge and truth - you, then, who teach others, do you not teach yourself?

You who preach against stealing, do you steal?

You say that people should not commit adultery, do you commit adultery?

You who abhor idols, do you rob temples?

You who boast in the law, do you dishonour God by breaking the law?
