One day this will be a dark comedy on how to handle everything wrong, to where you have the facts on your side, but have behaved in such a boorish and toxic manner the dissidents end up getting what they want.
Nobody involved in this fiasco has had any understanding how to lead men, and goodness does it show. A bunch of theorycrafters sitting around waxing philosophic over how things SHOULD be, with not an ounce of understanding how reality works.
Historically, these kind of people were viewed the greatest threat to leadership. Yet in an era where theological acumen (whether in speculative or promotion of ideological alignment) trumps actual governing ability, we see what happens when people who can't manage their way out of a paper bag are given absolute authority.

What theological acumen is that?! If only somebody in power had some!
