"Why are people so critical of the Church and of its servants? Because. People in high places are more accountable and they must give a good example of integrity. The closer you come to the light, the more your defects become noticeable. You do not see the dirt in dark corners; but you see it blatantly near a bright-lighted bulb."
John Adel Elya
