They financed this guy's globetrotting lifestyle for decades.

If your religion teaches you to deny reality then you'll believe damned near anything, even that sexual predators like this guy ( or Donald Trump... ) are great men.

One of the great faults of this country is that we romanticize rural communities and pride ourselves for our tolerance of anti-intellectual religions.
