In our Columnist section, Doug Giles explains that nobody is without sin—not even those whom you would expect to be completely virtuous. That being said, it’s really a matter of how you deal with it.
Here’s a snippet from his “Pedophilia and the Priesthood: Weapons of Mass Destruction”:
When we consider throwing stones at others for their sins, it’s essential to remember that nobody is perfect. All of us think and do things that are freaky, and we’re all in need of continued forgiveness and grace. If God were to remove His influence from us, we would be—in ridiculously short order—Howard Stern, Courtney Love and Cory Feldman all rolled up into one, defiled human body.
It was always and ever a true fact: “men of God,” priests, pastors, rabbis and ministers are beset with sins just as much as the “average Joes” they lead.
