(123) S2E27 Abuse in the Church and the Network of Sins
Taking the story of Benjamin Lay discussed in the last episode, we harken back to our series on consequentialism and discuss why our churches still harbor egregious evils. We explore the concept of a network of sins, and see how capitulation to "ends justify the means" morality in order to grasp at political power isn't a minor compromise, but rather the deep roots of sin which bears fruit in terrible, terrible ways.
