When we compare ourselves to others, I'm certain we can find those who

less moral. Compare ourselves to Christ and we don't appear nearly as

well.

You mean compare yourself to a fantastic ideal. That person is not among
the living. Dream on if you want to.




In the end, one of us is right and the other is wrong. If I'm wrong,

Actually it's possible for both of you to be wrong.

You are wrong in assuming Christian philosophy is one that men should or
even can live by.

Did you try ? Or are you still speaking of something that you don't know ?
Have you done theology studies ? Catechism at least ?

George is wrong in exaggerating the failings of the clergy.

Considering *THE* standard, the failings of the clergy are so monstruous
that they cannot be exagerated.
