Just a few months before Haggard’s fall I heard an interview given by him where he insisted that he led a sin free life and that he resists all sin.

As a Reformed guy I was troubled by that statement because we hold to the belief that we are still sinners, and will remain such until death.

What I sense here is a bit of arrogance instead of repentance.

I would concur, it wasn’t his fault. He still is not humbled and broken.

As a Catholic guy, I would, on the surface of it, agree with your assessment.

Whether or not you agree with the effectuality of the Sacrament of Penance, I would certainly hope that anybody would see the value of a periodic examination of conscience. Properly done, it shows us the great grace that God continues to extend to each of us.

No to mention he seems to have bad theology.... maybe some 'holiness' wesleyan deception he had.
