Tex is raising this so that official power will be excused from accountability, pure and simple. We need to step lightly so leaders can maintain their un-Christian biases? So they don't lash out with even greater craziness?

His attitude confirms my argument (and by the way, I am not blaming leadership. This is a Church problem and it won't be remedied until the rank and file stop perpetuating it.).

The folly of Tex's approach is exposed for all to see. "Official power must be excused at all costs" is Tex's creedo.
