My Youth Pastor was going to download Frontpage off of Kazaa. I told him it was illegal, he said he had no idea that it was illegal ... but I highly doubt that.
But of course everyone is human. Personal, if I ever get a hold of someone that rapes someone or molests a child I will personally kill them. Rape is terrible, it makes me sick, and I would love to extinguish the life of a rapist. I cannot put into words the extent that I despise rapists and molestors. And to have religious leaders partake in something like that is absolutely horrid. But Satan works the hardest on those that are strongest in faith and those that are in the highest positions. Grace and forgiveness are two spiritual gifts of which I am ... not adept at performing. Of course is someone asks for forgiveness I'm quick to give them absolution, but I cannot forgive someone that hasn't repented, it just doesn't work.
Thankfully, priests, pastors, and other church leaders are not who I attempt to immitate. I try to immitate God and give in to his will, NOT follow my pastor's lead.
But again, everyone is human. It's stupid to think that anyone person can be a perfect example. It's still a shame, though, when some weak willed, pathetic, priest messes up.

In the SDA history we only had this one guy and his fallowers who broke off from the church and went crazy and loaded up with guns in Texas and claimed to be representing the SDA religion.
