Well, I don’t know if I am in complete agreement with the report either–it sounds like damage control. However, we constantly fall and get up. So these arrows are thrown at us from the world–and the devil is the prince of this world–and sometimes we succumb to the passions. If the arrows did not fly, we would never sin. And if we never sinned, we could not work out our salvation with fear and trembling. So in a very real sense, the world is responsible for testing us—and we often fail the test.This is exactly my point… so why then try to say that society is “responsible for inflaming the passions of an ordained priest to commit unspeakable crimes against our youth”? I still disagree with the study but that aside society MAY be the catalyst but it is not responsible for the individual’s reaction… there’s quite a difference.
We must continue to repent and live in the world------but not of the world.
