“If the highest apostle of a philosophy violates same at every turn ... what are we to make of both the philosopher and her philosophy?”
Lucky for us all the popes and missionaries have been such shining examples. Some were first class SOB’s. But it doesn’t logically follow that the behaviors of some cruel men in the church, proves Chistianity is incorrect.
Likewise, many other brilliant people are incredibly poor at following what they correctly tell us is the right path. This only means they are weak, but not that their philosophy is incorrect.
The highest apostle of Christianity is the pope and missionaries?
