A recent survey conducted by Ipsos on the Veracity Index 2023 has revealed a significant decline in public trust in the Kenyan clergy. The survey, which assessed trust levels in professions, found that the clergy had experienced a severe decline in credibility. The personages of highest rank have proved most vulnerable of all, resulting in more public distrust about the faith institutions to which they belong. Soccer referees and police are more trustworthy than your clergy.
The culture of hypocrisy in the religion today is absurd. Reminds me of the book of Matthew 23. When Jesus preached on the Mount, where he spoke about the hypocrisy of the scribes and Pharisees, the religious leaders of his time. Such leaders were outwardly pious but inwardly self-righteous and judgmental. Their only thought was to satisfy their selfish desires. He compared them to whitewashed tombs, which appear beautiful on the outside but are full of dead men’s bones and all kinds of filth.
