My mom’s pastor was accused of being sexual towards a woman. The whole thing sounded a bit sketch, so I’m not entirely convinced he did anything. But given the reputation of religious leaders inalso wouldnt be surprised.
My mom defended him by saying he “showed his chaplains ID for the police department.” As if him being thr chaplain that goes in and attempts to convert inmates makes him a good person. It sounded more like a flex, like he was saying “try pursuing this, I have friends in high places.”
This is a great way to create people who have nothing to lose. Bonus, these were already people who were activists and doing something. Kicking the hornets nest might be an apt comparison.
