as long as he is moral and non-heretical, he is good to go.

exactly.

Really quite an accusation, care to provide any proof of heterodox doctrine, or are you just throwing that out to see if it sticks?

I did say may be heterodox.

One can cause upheaval, can play 'politics', can be a lousy preacher, not visit the sick etc, but as long as he is moral and non-heretical, he is good to go.

So a pastor doesn't have to do his job, but if the congregation screws up and calls him, they should be stuck with him until he decides to leave. Another reason I am thankful you don't go to my church and that there IS recourse in the case of an unprofitable calling. You may have your Pater Noster, I've seen what they can do.
