I really do not get the idea of a church allowing a minister to remain in his position if he forsakes his faith.

More prospective, disillusioned converts to either Catholicism or Islam.

More to the point, why would he want to continue? Isn’t he living a lie?

Lots of protestant preachers out there who don't believe in Jesus of Nazareth as the Son of God. They are basically poorly trained social workers in funny clothes with huge egos..

He believes in a paycheck, though.

Really. Kick him the hell out.

My words were chosen purposefully.

We’ve tolerated enough of this constant attack and it’s time to draw the line and push back.

Well, there’s Rembert Weakland, just now publishing a book in which he reveals multiple homosexual affairs while Archbishop of Milwaukee, in addition to his already-known affair with Paul Marcoux, and his embezzlement of $450,000 from the Archdiocese to use as hush money for Marcoux.

The fact that Weakland remained Archbishop of Milwaukee throughout John Paul II’s pontificate is a main reason I refuse to call JPII “John Paul the Great.” A truly great Pope would have removed Weakland and dozens of other American bishops.

There’s Archbishop Donald Wuerl, of Washington, who refuses to obey Canon 915, thereby teaching loud and clear that support for abortion is not sinful. And each time the issue heats up, he offers ever-more preposterous excuses for his refusal to obey.

The phenomenon of unbelievers’ clinging to leadership roles is universal, and timeless.
