Every week I see one of these over at Joe.My.God and every week it fascinates me because these are the people we are told we can trust and infuriates me because these are the people we are told we can trust and saddens me because these are the people we are told we can trust.
For whatever reason, here's This Week In Holy Crime from Joe.My.God.
Over the last seven days....
Florida: Pastor James Harris arrested for filming high school football players having sex in return for the promise of NFL careers. Some say this has gone on for decades.

This week's winner:
New York - Four ministers in the Queens-based Local Christian Assembly Church charged with defrauding congregants of $9.3M in an investment scam that "preyed on the elderly and disabled." The men of God spent their parishioners' millions on jewelry, vacations, designer clothes, and a $200,000 Bentley.
Sick hypocrites.
