I will not disagree. Historically this has been true for the top men in all religions except Islam which is a hot mess
I was thinking specifically about Orthodox Priests.
In an Orthodox ordination, the Priest candidate is told to guard the sanctity of the Holy Sacrament, and that he will be responsible at the Last Judgment for the souls of all his parishioners.
When I think of my countless sins, I know how awesome it would be to be responsible for my salvation. And I’m only ONE parishioner out of thousands!!!! What about those who quit Orthodoxy, or all Christianity?
As for islam. the majority Sunni branch says that they have no clergy. However, they have imams, as well as leaders who have a large following. Then there are Shia islam’s ayatollahs. Because islam is so fatalistic about an individual’s salvation, none of these leaders has responsibility for the salvation of anyone. But they lead their followers into grave sins instead, including mass murder of innocents.
