On the Inevitable Corruption of all Priests
It shouldn't weaken your faith. It should strengthen it.
All successful things begin at once to sow the seeds of their own destruction.
It's the same for nations or religions.
All human enterprises founded on the noblest ideals only maintain their integrity as long as it takes the usual psychopaths to get their boots on.
If something is succeeding, the evil in the world dispatches agents to destroy it, exploit it and occupy its offices as master mimics.
All higher species have powerful parasites specifically adapted to take advantage of them. Man may be the only creature on earth whose chief parasite is other men.
All the faith that men place in mankind, his institutions and supposed safeguards and especially the faith he may have placed in self-styled religious leadership has all proven to be in vain.
Not one is good … all have gone astray speaking lies.
Even where they have not perpetrated the evil itself, they have served as gatekeepers to keep it secret.
Romans 2:11-16 KJV
11 For there is no respect of persons with God.
12 For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law;
13 (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.
14 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:
15 Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;)
16 In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.
