You said “well spoken”. I think you were being sarcastic but implied sarcasm doesn’t come across well in written form as it is communicated better with verbal tonality and facial expression.

I don’t keep a “rules for proper writing” book constantly at the ready and I recognize the sentence structure was weak.(perhaps “ pedophilia and other perversions are occuring at distubing rates amongst all Christian clergy....” or “ Or sins of a sexual nature are afflicting increasing numbers of all Christian clergy when taken as a group.”)

If this world is to be judged, judgment first starts in the House of God. The wolves need to be taken out and God will not hold the sheep guiltless if they won’t act to hold the various religious hierarchies responsible for the apostacy they are inflicting on them.

Actually, no, I did not intend sarcasm -- I said well spoken that you pointed out that all Christian groups face similar issues. The fact that you said these are common issues for all of us to face rather than passing the buck seemed, to me, to be the right path to us stepping forth together as soldiers of Christ

God will not hold 'the sheep' guiltless if they won’t act to hold the various religious hierarchies responsible for the apostacy they are inflicting on them.

Exactly..and Amen to that!
