QUOTE from the Bible

 Matthew 7:1-3 -:Judging Others

7 “Judge not, that you be not judged. 2 For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. 3 Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?

Bishop of Lewes

Peter Ball was the first suffragan Bishop of Lewes to become an area bishop when the diocese's area scheme was instituted in 1984. Official inquiries into prolonged failure to prevent child abuse in the Diocese of Chichester, of which Lewes is part, brought up allegations against Peter Ball, of which he was later convicted.

Bishop of Gloucester, police caution and resignation

After having been translated to the see of Gloucester in 1992, Peter Ball resigned from his position as Bishop of Gloucester in 1993 after admitting to an act of gross indecency with a 19-year-old man and accepting a formal police caution for it.[11] In 1993, Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) lawyers said that "sufficient admissible, substantial and reliable evidence" existed that Ball had committed indecent assault and gross indecency. At the time, the Director of Public Prosecutions, Barbara Mills, decided not to prosecute Ball though the CPS believes today that prosecution in 1993 would have been in the public interest.

Editor's note
Nobody told me/us in advance that I/we face a difficult task which needs my/our regular attention.

The Point at issue  is that human temptation can get in the way of {rational, human} judgement and/or {very rare} divine intervention. Those of us who were educated in the Christian tradition owe a special duty of care to live a Godly life. Through regular prayer and contemplation we give ourselves a chance to rise above error and human indiscretion!
