Seriously, I agree with you. We may see certain aspects differently, but you are correct. And those pesky little problems, whatever the source, that began oh so early grew into the mess we have today.

Yes. It has mostly been unexamined. I think that most presume that a true servant effectively corrects whatever error might otherwise exist. There may be some truth in that, but it requires that the pattern of service that one gives himself/herself to must be a genuine service to the church. But the fact that hierarchies are often filled with the ambitious casts shadows over a lot of it.
