And the slipping aside to speak of congregation members, store clerks etc.
Perhaps Protestants send their errant leaders to other areas where they can continue their sins, but that's another topic.
I do know of one case where a leader was removed from one church for public disgrace sin, and another church took him in as a pastor. He was supposed to take some time off to get himself right with God. Not Biblical for any Christian church, org etc.
Nothing prevents anyone from doing anything wrong (except good old fashioned conviction listened to), but church leadership (Protestant or mainline Christainity) does their job in most cases I have seen.
Yes, that was the point of my reply, to avoid a double standard..

Mainline Protestant homosexual bishops/priests/marriage, women bishops ? Benny Hinn? Paul Crouch, prosperity gospel? Aimee Semple McPherson, Robert Tilton, Ted Haggard, Eddie Long, Jim Jones...?

And how does a congregation, Protestant or Catholic, deal with sinners and repentance among its leaders? It is not a simple matter, nor one limited to Catholics.
thanks for your reply.
