Deep breaths and count to ten.Yes. And it all stems from entitlement and power. They believed they were entitled to our respect because they wore a black dress. Our MPs think they deserve respect because they are MPs. The organisations want the power that respect gives them but forget respect is earnt. As soon as they start to cover up where people don't deserve that respect the rot sets in. Now the only respect is for wearing a dress (or a rosette) regardless of your actions so the individuals do as they please. I am sure there are some priests that are horrified but they need to take a good long look at their own actions and ask if they allowed it to continue by inaction and if they still deserve that respect. Similarly, lying to the public and even in parliament itself is endemic. Until they sort that out then they deserve no more respect than you'd reserve for a stranger until they have proved otherwise. In the end they'll have no respect and no power. I doubt many people respect the church now. Certainly MPs get little respect - they're consistently low down on public polls. Look at the current situation where they're having to pass laws and use the Police like a private army. Unbelievable. And only necessary because at least one section of society doesn't trust what they say and has no respect for them.
