This topic came up before and I will just say before what I said then. There are horrible people of all faiths doing horrendous things. There recently was a rabbi on trial here in NJ for having his wife killed so he could continue an adulterous affair. There were the Jim Bakker, Jimmy Swaggart fiascos several years ago. No religion is immune from these types of things because men are human. They sin like everyone else. There is no one perfect and hasn't been anyone perfect since Jesus walked on this earth. For those of us who are Christians (be it Catholic or Protestant) we need to get our eyes off the people in our churches and get them back on Christ. Peter learned that in a simple lesson that Jesus taught him. He wanted to be able to walk on the water. He got out of the boat and began to do it. As long as his eyes were on Jesus he was fine. When he looked down at the water he sunk. We as Jesus' followers need to do the same - keep our eyes on Him and Him alone. (OK I'm off the pulpit!)![]()
