religious leaders

A bishop was stripped of his position after it became public that he had an affair with his brother's wife. Earl Paulk was the archbishop of a protestant mega-church in Atlanta, but no longer. The wife said that she was manipulated into the affair. The fact that he received praise from the President of the U. S. is no surprise, it seems to be a strong indicator of corruption.

Also Cardinal Frances George was elected president of the U.S. council of catholic bishops. In this NPR story, he is at least partially faulted with allowing abuse by a priest to continue to abuse children in his own archdiocese as late as last year.
