This is at least one of the problems in this case... and I mean whether he is guilty or innocent of said charges.
In this case, I would agree.

Second, as far as someone falling...it would probably happen anyways somewhere and somehow. However the saying comes to mind "the bigger they are the harder they fall"....Clearly when it's someone of his stature it gets more unwanted attention for the church. On a lessor degree the damage is limited to that congregation probably
