I wrote one of the articles you will find online. Clergy are corrupted by power and control, not fundamentalism. Fundamentalism is the tool they use to wield power and control. Briefly, shame and guilt are used to manipulate followers into doing the bidding of the leader or the group, or both. They are power tools as is fear. This is how they use shame and guilt. Also, be aware that there are certain buzz words to listen for, such as: "you need to . . ., you should . . ., you must . . ." When these terms are being used, shame and guilt are not far behind.

Answer
With all due respect to Dr. Timothy, he does in his answer appear to accuse all clergy as being corrupt. He may have his reason for this. However this does not fully answer the question which is "How do corrupt clergy use Shame and Guilt In Religious Fundamentalism?" I will admit that the learned Doctor has given some true ways in which clergy may be corrupted. The use of power is certainly one of them. I would like to add another corruption that certain church clergy are guilty of, and that is to get gain for the forgiveness of sins, and to enforce the thought that God is a vengeful God if the the clergy are not obeyed. Thankfully not all clergy are like this, just the odd few rotten apples in the barrel.
Answer: Through his life course, Jesus set the pattern for future ministers. Christs ministers were to be workers in the greatest work the world has ever seen-providing spiritual comfort to all mankind by preaching and teaching the good news of God's Kingdom - Matthew 28:19,20. The focus on giving and on serving the needs of others is what made Christ's approach to ministering so distinctive. He taught his ministers to be laborers, spiritual fisherman and shepherds, not mystics and academics in special garb and regalia. - Matthew 4:19; 23:5; John 21:15-17. The Encyclopedia of Religion explains that the word minister represents "not status but the serving relatiinship of the minister to the one served:following the example of Christ....is the heart of the Christian understanding of ministry. In harmony with the correct definition of "minister" Jesus spent himself giving to others. Sadly over the centuries what began as the Christian ministry evolved into a formal hierarchial institution. Orders and ranks were formed, and they were invested with prestige and power and often accumulated great wealth. This created divisions and a clergy class developed. However, The Bible identifies a Christian minister, not by distinctive garb, elaborate ritual, a salary or state decree, but unselfish labor. The Apostle Paul outlined the attitude Christian ministers should display, nothing ouy of egotism, but with lowliness of mind. - Philippians 2:3
Bribery can have severe consequences for an individual, including damage to their reputation and credibility, legal penalties such as fines or imprisonment, and a loss of trust from colleagues, friends, and the community. Additionally, participating in bribery can lead to feelings of guilt, shame, and stress.
The legal system can put someone in jail by following a process that involves investigating the alleged crime, gathering evidence, filing charges, conducting a trial where the accused can defend themselves, and ultimately reaching a verdict of guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. If found guilty, the individual can be sentenced to jail time as determined by the judge.
Stockholm, Sweden. Alfred Nobel was a swedish munitions magnate who commercially perfected Dynamite and other explosives- and had evidentally a guilty conscience, hence the Peace Prizes. another angle-off on the Scrooge theory that charity impulses are set in motion by guilt- more or less like (parking Tickets_ I don"t buy this entirely as it rules out pure charity acts, like Love your Neighbor, where there are no sanctions to dodge or expiate.
Let's try to keep this short and simple. If we think too long, this can get away from us. First, there are lots of extremely wealthy people who consider themselves Democrats. Hollywood types and familes that have transfered wealth. Consider Nancy Pelosi, their agenda is motivated by guilt of wealth and believe they have too much and there are many that have too little so it should be transferred. Due to new mega wealth or inhertting it, they don't need more money nor do they remember who worked hard enough/took risk to obtain the wealth. Nothing persoanl against these types, but these are the true reasons. Second, those who need help adn who mostly don't care if somoen else gives them a break. Initially, these citizens may have had too much pride to accept help from the government but over time it got easier to accpet help and generations teaching idndependence slipped away one justification at a time. So, that leaves those who can benefit from liberal policy or special interests. Of the middle class it's made up of union members plus non-union members who'd secretly prefer and benefit from conservative economic plocy but can't tolerate the social issues supported by conservatives. Then add trial lawyers....those guys on the billboards who if they're honest , would agree too many people went to law school, so they have to eat too...right?
That is up to you, if you want your ex more than the new girl then let her down nicely and go with your ex, but if you are done with your ex and want to continue your relationship with the new girl then kindly tell your ex that you have moved on and are now with someone else. Good Luck. Follow your Heart.

In many religious beliefs and teachings, guilt is not considered a sin itself, but rather a feeling that can result from committing a sin. It is often seen as a natural response to wrongdoing and can serve as a motivator for seeking forgiveness and making amends.

Religious melancholy is also known as Scrupulosity. This psychological disorder is associated with an obsessive sense of guilt about morality and religion. People suffering from this can't shake the feeling that they are bad people and will never be acceptable to God.
