[QUOTE="John6185, post: 3007046, member: 25679"] Ministers to include Bishops, Priests etc. are held to a higher standard than the laymen, just as presidents and congressmen. They set the moral tones for their religion and politics for the country. I wouldn't bash a Catholic nor would I bash a Mormon-but I would condemn the actions of anyone that did what this Rome Bishop and his groupies did. It wrong, immoral and sets a very poor standard of morality for not only Catholics but other religions as well because they too are susceptible and are guilty of the same sin somewhere in the not too distant past. All manner of sin can be forgiven save one and most of you know what that is without me belaboring the point. Something we all must face at some time is our appointment-"It is appointed unto man once to die and after that the judgement." So therein lies the crux of all mankind, what are we going to say when we stand before the judge? We'll have no lawyer representing us, no one to speak of our good character and we will be taking an "open book test" and there is no grading on the curve, it will be a pass/fail grade and I hope we all receive a passing grade on that Day.
