I will point out that this never would have happened if the Pope had just given Haggard permission to marry.

Actually, this Haggard fellow demonstrates the danger in establishing higher levels of governance or associations in religious organizations.

The congregations really don't have control over these guys in their ministerial and other associations, yet when they go over the cliff the people in the congregations are always blamed.

The best bet is to eliminate minsterial associations, and where they already exist, self-perpetuationg church hierarchies.

I guess buying the drugs wasn't a sin?

This guy seems typical of the high profile evangelist/Super Pastor types. He needs to get down to reality; this episode has caused more harm to the body of Christ than if he had never gotten into the ministry.
