Organizations are composed of the individuals operating them. If a majority of the persons composing the organization’s officers, directors and management are corrupt and sinful then it would be acceptable to state the organization is venal, corrupt and sinful. The sheep have lost their shepherd. As St. Paul said to the to the faithful of Corinthian Church regarding its sinful members and leaders(if it was Corinth my memory is decaying.) “Come out from among them.”

To: AEMILIUS PAULUS

“Organizations are composed of the individuals operating them.”

That’s not what Paul says in Ephesians.

He speaks how the Church has a human nature - but the head is Christ. The body of the church is not the head. There is a part of the Church that sin cannot touch a divine nature from Christ himself.

Remember, Christ is our foundation - everything is built on him. The people the buildings all the rest of it - is merely straw, is it not? And those works will be tested by fire.

So why would you judge the church by something that does not comprise the true nature of the church?

“Come out from among them.”

But where to - back into unity with St. Paul and his church.

There isn’t and are not many, just one.
