Is it possible that Clerics; i.e., religious leaders
of the highest sort, might ever be participants in a
Clerical Collusion; that is, in a Clerical Game of
Mutual Self-Deception --- and do so under the cover of
Holy Vestments and Sacred Traditions?
Might Clerics ever participate in a Clerical Game of
Mutual Self-Deception --- within which they would
institute as Holy Doctrine or Holy Law --- requirements
that church members never under any circumstance say
anything, or behave in any way, which would expose to
public view a Clerical Collusion?
Might Clerics ever participate in a Clerical Game of
Mutual Self-Deception --- within which they would help
modify existing scriptures so as to make them become
supportive of their Clerical Game of Mutual Self
Deception; perhaps doing so within a translation or
scriptural selection process?
If the answer to any of the above three questions is
in any form of the affirmative --- can we with personal
and communal integrity accept and honor any overt or tacit
suggestions that we must respect Clerical Doctrines and
Laws --- even when they call upon us to be dishonest about
our own experiences and perceptions, and behave in ways
which are deceptive in our own eyes?
If the answer to any of the above questions is in any
form of the affirmative --- how can we participate with
personal and communal integrity in showing respect for
Clerical Doctrines and Laws --- when they call upon us to
be dishonest about our own experiences and perceptions?
Can we with personal and communal integrity engage in:
Dishonesty? Coercion? Violence?
Excommunications? Rejections? Banishments?
Torture? Burnings? Hangings?
Ridicule? Confusions? Forgetfulness?
Disobedience? Protests? Criticisms?
Publications? Exposures? Revelations?
Pray that we may Find Common Ground within God's Love!
