His whole ministry appears to be not wanting to not be liked. I recall something in Scripture about bringing a sword...
He’s pretty popular and wants to remain that way.
I also remember something about being luke-warm. Not a good thing.
However, he can have a big role. He is so non-threatening that he appeals to a lot of non-Christians and can help them find Jesus. Once they do and read the Bible, they may discover the whole truth by themselves, or they may hear it from another minister.
