Was just reading this article on the BBC about Cardinal Keith O'Brien who has apologized for "sexual misconduct". It struck me how lame this apology was and how unbiblical in nature.
I haven't read his entire statement so maybe I am making false assumptions about Cardinal O'Brien, but with that being said the fact that he mentions that is sorry that he fell "beneath the standards expected" of him makes me question how he views sin.
Is that all sin is? An offense to others?
Why wasn't there repentance back in the 1980s?
Can we expect only private repentance from church leadership with their attempt to conceal their sins?
If so, how can we trust church leaders to be godly?
Where is the seriousness and somberness of repentance?
