The history of humanity is dark and evil, imperfect men followed Jesus, and continue to do so to this day. That doesn't negate the many amazing heroes that have given their lives to serve God and their brothers. It is complete ignorance not to know that priests, no matter their formal education, can only serve God. They willingly take an oath of loyalty only to God. That means they can't get jobs outside of the church, or get married etc. They are completely dedicated to serving God, and understand that doing otherwise would be serving two masters.

Heresy, is not a matter of my personal judgment, it is a formal process of dealing with servants of the church who are unfaithful to their vocations, and biblical teachings, "who is not with me, is against me". Luke 11. Both the church and people within it have fallen many times, but Hades has NEVER prevailed as Jesus promised. (Thank you Father for your infinite mercy) That is the history of our humanity. Those of us who follow Jesus understand this, forgive, and try to be better. No one is excempt from our fallen nature. Even you granny. May God bless and heal you.
