Malicious people infiltrate structures with strong authority all the time. They just need time to work their way up, not a plague.

It is funny that you think shitty priests were just hanging in the wings as second stringers.

It is funny how I said the second stringers died soon after the first and you just completely disregarded that

The churches then went to the second options, which followed soon after. It kept going until the churches were desperate for anyone to go a say the last rites.

Your point is correct, no church was infallible before the plauge happened. I'm just stating the plauge made it exponentially easier for infiltration to occur as those opposing it were literally dying trying to be good people.
