How does promiscuity pose a threat to Christianity?
People have been promiscuous since the earliest days of the Church, yet Christianity has prospered, so promiscuity in and of its self is clearly not a threat to Christianity.

Many thousands of allegations of paedophilia have been made against Catholic clergy, as well as many more against some Protestant clergy.

They regard revelations of consensual sexual promiscuity by clergy who preach against fornication and adultery as evidence of hypocrisy. This is the danger to Christianity.

Who formed the clergy?
The clergy is typically formed by individuals who undergo religious training and education within a specific faith tradition. In Christianity, for instance, clergy members such as priests, ministers, and pastors are ordained through a process that often includes theological study and a recognition of their spiritual calling. Other religions have their own systems for training and ordaining clergy, reflecting their unique beliefs and practices. Overall, the formation of clergy involves both formal education and a commitment to serve their religious communities.
