“And I hear nothing but the kind of crap the the OP speaks of from you.”
So what are you going to do about it? Toss out your congregation because they don’t meet your expectations?
Your whining does nothing to help your personal incompetence as a clergyman. If you knew the first thing about leadership - of any kind - you’d realize that the reason the folks you are trying to lead don’t respect you is a personal failure, not a failure of those who look to you to lead.
You are so poorly suited to your job - you’ve turned a position that should be able do so much good and used it as a literal bully pulpit to castigate those looking to you to communicate the gospel to them as somehow being “haters” - not because you are completely ineffective, but because they have the temerity to be Protestants.
You should be fired, and are likely well on your way already!

I am not talking about my congregation, I am talking about the Catholic haters, the “I said it, God believes it, that settles it” crowd. I am talking about the people who have run thousands or millions of sinners away from Christ because of their judgmental, hateful attitudes. That is not my congregation. My congregation loves me, regardless of what you think. Actually, my congregation loves EVERYBODY, and I consider my work for them a privilege.
It has become clear to me that many of you either did not read the OP and if you did, you didn’t understand it.
