I think the current 'leaders' believe they are protecting their 'flock' because they have fallen for the rona propaganda hook, line, and sinker

That and they love the money - main stream denominations pay pastors big bucks (frequently 6 figures) and that's more important to them than Jesus and God. This applies particularly to the big name divinity schools at big name universities that hew to the 'woke' philosophy.

Your more likely to see courage in excommunicated priests like Jeremy Leatherby and unpaid Pentecostals.

On another note, Ted Nugent says it well -

If its anything like what I've seen in my life, those ex-communicated Priests got that way for bucking the system. They were most likely right, and the system was likely wrong.

And they were most likely practicing their religion as it was intended to be practiced.

Power and trappings can corrupt, especially for those who seek power. They are the most vulnerable, even if they didn't come into it with already corrupted souls.

I don't know the significance of Pentacostals.

I think the true power of religion is in the religion itself, and not the trappings. The closer you get to the trappings, the further you get from the religion.

This is just my opinion.

(am I using the term 'trappings' correctly?)

Ted is right but the way the original poster spelled his name is not.
