And if that's the case, without any embellishments or formalities: if a servant of God violates His commandments, then it means he either doesn't believe or doesn't attach enough importance to this faith. Does God suffer from this? Of course not. Does the servant suffer from this? Yes, to the extent that his conscience allows. Does the church suffer from this? Yes, and moreover - it simply collapses, because the church is primarily its servants, the shepherds of the flock. If the shepherd doesn't tend to the flock, the sheep slowly drift away from him. I have heard so many excuses from church servants in my life that the church itself has become invisible behind these excuses. There is a lot of hypocrisy, showmanship, and business in the church. Inevitably, the question arises, as Zhvanetsky put it: "Maybe something needs to be adjusted in the conservatory?"
