In Dante’s Inferno there is a special place in Hell for corrupt church leaders (granted they were all Catholic, but that was his environment). While I do blame the people for moving away from God, I blame the church leaders even more for LEADING them away. Liberal church leaders are perverting doctrine in order to convince the people that they’re still within God’s teachings all the while being completely out of it.
You are correct, but also the people that are wanting this have itchy ears, and their leaders tell them what they want to hear.
