About This Quote
A virtuous clergyman censures vice in every appearance of it. The clergy is the church, and they are trained to be virtuous, so they are trained to find fault with anyone who does anything wrong. They are there to keep the flock in line and make it safer for everyone to live in the community. For this reason, they should be everywhere in order to stop bad things from happening in the name of God.
