What errors do you want us to acknowledge, and then I can deal with why we don't acknowledge them.

Dear Cantor Blaydoe,
Thank you for your question. I was not concerned about specific errors, but the sometime human tendency (even among Christians) to knowingly fail to forthrightfully acknowledge the criticisms of others. However, if an example helps, priests molesting youths, could be a hypothetical example.

Christian failure to deny or sidestep error seems odious, especially among prelates of any church. So, too, does reversing the focus back upon the indictor for any of the indictor's presumed faults.

I hope this helps. It seems that I am askng a psychological question in a Christian context, not solely a a religious question. It is, therefore, understandable that previous Monachos net responses have not provided the input I was hoping for!

Scripture, at times, gives an example of this kind of duplicity, as in the case of Ananias and Sapphira (Acts 5:1-10). Howver, it rarely goes on to explain the mental machinations behind the motivations. In Genesis 18:15b Sarah was afraid, nothing more. Of what was she afraid?

To ascribe deceitfulness merely to sin, and immaturity are general answers, not specific ones . . . Norm
