Great comments, I often wonder at the reasons for the failure of the Church. Imo it is that they are not following in the foot steps of Christ by seeking the Father for leading. Rather they model the church often on an American business model. Maybe this relates to Evangelical churches mostly. The Church ought to be counter-cultural. The Episcopal Budde that lectured Trump is anything but counter-cultural. She is lockstep with the world!
Yes. Key point. If the clergy had been doing their jobs we would not have suffered so greatly. An organized effort was made to neuter the churches with bribes, with pay-offs. On my Stack I speak to protocols for bringing the clergy back into line. Tough task. They are so uneducated.
Yes. But The Church has its own problems.
In my mind, here's what's wrong with The Church these days imo. And it was made abundantly clear during the plandemic
1: Absence of Trust
2: Fear of Conflict
3: Lack of Commitment
4: Avoidance of Accountability
5: Inattention to Results
