I would tend to agree with you. Becuase certain churches teach that ministers are beyond reproach and in a sense "sitting at the right hand of God", when they fail; people feel like God does too.

That added to the supposed "godly" discernment that most ministers claim to have. If they really had this discernment then certain other preachers would never have been allowed to continue being preachers... regardless of how well-known they are (or were).
