Dear Bill,
         I can agree with your point, of course if a pastor is to say fonication is okay, we should appeal this matter upon higher authority, that is to the Bishop of that diocese, or to any higher priest. We are including priests and leaders of church are all servants, yes I agree, I never indicate that they are the rulers. I should say they are servants with higher responsibility, of course. Clergy who mislead the church with ungodly words and sermons, we should not absorb the bad fruits but only the good. Human do err, Clergy workers are also human-beings, in return, we should give them our full support in their spiritual work.
       For every authority on earth, is given by God, therefore we have to answer for ourselves in judgement to come. We do have rights to complain and disagree with the seniors in church, only through a godly and proper way, in that little church I used to attend, there was a group of young believers went up to the pulpit and tell the priest straight away in his face, should they speak to the priest in private even they disagree with him?
      I am not pointing that the priests or even popes are rulers, they have God above them to answer for everything too. I consider my view and yours are all right, if order in proper channel of respecting and disagreeing with the priests is in polite form.
     Interpretaion of the bible cannot be read in too straight forward as the verses may apply in other aspect of our life on earth too. Our God is good and will work things right in our life if we were to live in order. Remember, absorb what ever is good and dispose whatever is bad. Somethings are beyond our control and the antidote of those is to pray sincerely for God's reply. Nice sharing Bill! I learnt a new thing from you today! Haha! Thank the Lord and you!

God bless you,

Emmanuel
