...would be in a whole lotta trouble.

The now-ex-husband of a friend of ours was a Methodist minister for a while. He's now an ex-minister as well - had to leave when he was caught having an affair with a congregation member.

True story - a man in his congregation did not approve of Spanish, French, or any other "foreign" languages being taught in American schools. His reason was, "If English was good enough for Jesus, it's good enough for me."

What can you even say to someone that woefully ignorant?
