We can see why WL loved the "ground of the church" so much. It gave him unfettered access to the lives and pockets of the parishioners. Just like with WN, who could come back from shame and exile in the late-1940s and promote (demand?) the "handing over" of everything to "the church". And I guess WN initially made an example for everyone by handing over all his possessions to himself. (A little humor, there)

Well the Psalms exposed this lack of revelation like nothing else that I have seen. Matthew 21:44 says, "Anyone who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces; anyone on whom it falls will be crushed." WL tried to dismiss the Psalms as natural writings but instead they crushed and spit out his ministry like so much "natural" dust. It was a completely failed exegesis in my view.
