I don't care who is worthy or not. I don't care about leaders in general. I think you guys are missing my point.

My point is that good people (who sin) actually leave or suffer more in the Church just because they are good and honest, whereas many dishonest people who are equally good (who also sin) end up sticking around and thriving just because they're willing to lie.

I think too many honest people end up on the outs because of the way confession is handled in the Church.
