Organized religion should control this kind of thing to see that this does not  happen if they are doing what they should do. If the top is at ease in Zion and not paying attention to the rest of the church, anything can happen and probably will--as it did.  Christianity believes man is bent toward evil and that temptation will never totally leave you; you must worship and pray and practice your faith daily to be faithful to Christ.  Some don't take  this call of Jesus to "follow me" very seriously. They live fast and loose  and do what they want. There should be strict discipline in the organized church--Catholic or Protestant--and their should be consequences for any failures. Many priests or ministers should be put out of service, and I don't care how much of a shortagae there is. There is no excuse for immorality among the religious workers or clergy.

Bottom line - organized religion failed - that is my opinion; the goverment must not fail their people.

Any church that thinks theirs is the only true church is wrong! Plain enough?

A sincere Christian really living the life Jesus called him or her to live is precluded from doing what you referenced to. The problem is not all Christian live the Godly life as Christ calls them to do. If you do not follow Christ faithfully and sincerely you may do things that will surprise yourself. Compromise on one thing and then another, and another and the light of Jesus no longer shines through you, but you still want to be called a Christian. Salvation is a gift of God but His grace and forgiveness is extended to those who are sincere and are continuing to daily follow Him. There is no CHEAP GRACE.
