The peripherals, the background of Scripture is often taught as an end in itself. Reflection or meditation on the Word of God, in faith, is generally of secondary importance or not referred to with any seriousness. When bishops and priests begin to accept the importance and seriousness of God's Word and turn away from the humanistic approach of dealing with problems and concerns, they will begin to fulfill their proper office of teaching. In order to do this effectively they must be willing to be rejected by those who prefer to live in sin. They must accept that everyone will not be their friend.
Most clergy are unwilling to accept rejection because of what they teach.
The problems in the Church today are many, and perhaps the most serious is the inability to accept that human weakness can only be overcome by having a proper understanding of and have a willingness to teach the authentic Word of God. Breaking, or even bending God's teachings helps no one. Such actions only prolong the agony which already exists. In the long term problems become worse and the momentary mask of happiness turns into a full masquerade. There needs to be established in the Church a forum available to the average priest and parishioner to enforce that authentic teachings of the Church are being taught.
