Concerning the spirit the LC now enjoys, you seem to have a much darker view of these ones than I do. Personally, I try to withhold ultimate judgement of other believers, because that's His job - I don't know that I'm qualified. (And it limits the Spirit flowing in fellowship with others . . . ) My view is that they're just lost in a system and haven't yet been shown what I have (by His mercy & grace).

Yes, I really do believe that's what's shown in scripture. However because God allows clergy, it isn't a free pass for leadership to commit crime.
As for my "dark view" on the spirit's within the LC's. It's not a careless judgment made on a whim. I once had to repent of spiritual adultery and so know what it looks like.
No matter if the "light" you're receiving "feels" good or is even delivered to you by an angel, test it! Because Satan himself transforms into an angel of light...
