In my opinion all clerics of all kinds should be as the birds in the fields and be so devoted to carrying out the will of God in which they so 'intensely believe' that they wouldn't have the need for a car or buy suits and ties.
Were such truly-called and selfish people doing such jobs I too, I tend to think, would be seen in church.
Just recently the Church of England admitted it had a portfolio of £15 billion a good portion of which was invested in companies who have plenty of tax experts working for then in order to avoid paying taxes. The Queen of England, the head of the same Church owns vast tracts of land, about seven palaces (if needed I can list them) and has about 1000 empty rooms in her properties while thousands of homeless people sleep under old newspapers.
There are many Churches of all denominations spread over the globe who are rolling in it, nevertheless there are millions of people starving. Religion as the masses know it - stinks.

Ohh... I see, english is not my native language, but thank you so much for pointing the obvious!!! This is what I am trying to say, this is why is so important for people to look inside oneself: "If you don't know the truth, then how can you expect it from someone?"; some words I use to say sometimes.Yes, you can get help, guidances, but that's it, the rest is up to you.Sadly, too many are lied and used, it's like they give their own powers to these "spiritual leaders".I love these words, spoken by Jesus: "Know a tree by its fruits"; this sums it all.
If you go outside and try to open people's minds, they will judge you as being crazy.I tried to talk with my relatives about spiritual things, they told me that I do drugs and then they started to make fun of me.I don't blame nor I hate them, I understand that some people are not ready for such things.
