AC in post 188 said,

***well ya know ya gotta deal with the wheat and the tares thing!***

Rather than telling her the passage didn't relate to my point (#180) to her about dealing with unholy / unorthodox bishops I used her term.

I am well aware of your point.

My point about the "wheat and the tares" was that although I hope and pray for a holy and orthodox bishop (wheat) you never know if you may get a tare, instead. Look at poor LA with Mahony... and you have to deal with it and go beyond and work out your salvation in trembling and fear and hope, regardless of who is appointed shepherd of your particular flock.
