And I don't know how love played into it all ... Real love seemed to be scarce.

Interesting observation. Moral purity and love is prioritized in an environment where Jesus is Lord. Loyal purity is prioritized in an environment where the church leader becomes "Lord".
Colossians 3:23-25
Whatever you do,
work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ.
For the wrongdoer will be paid back for the wrong he has done, and there is no partiality.
