The religious economy makes sense of the novel combination of fervor and cynicism as you ascend the ranks of any institutional hierarchy. It basically boils down to whether or not a person agrees with the notion that unregulated markets have a tendency to privilege bad actors. Leaders who shuffle around pedos aren't doing it for love. We could bicker about What Word Do until the heat death of the universe and it won't change any essential that informs a singular and accurate conclusion.
If we accept...especially if we accept... john's jingoist "god is love" framing, those leaders and those religious institutions and those religions aren't leading for or from god. Propaganda is often associated with untrue things, but it needn't be. Even if, as we see in the hypothetical above, the underlying premise is true, a phrase can still find it's expression and use in propaganda that seeks to possess but not exemplify some true statement the phrase leverages. John preaches tolerance and acceptance from a pulpit of contempt - and this is precisely what john set out to do, in order to correct the synoptics and chastise rome.
