| Summary: | Corruption and every kind of abuse are contemporary issues in today's society. This article deals with the abuse of authority and of power practiced by priests as it is revealed by the texts of the dodecapropheton. Priests can be subordinated to an authority conflict. They are accused to search their own benefit instead of preaching knowledge of God. They take payment for instruction. Their teaching is formal, without the right content. They're not able to oppose to foreign influences. The sacrifices they offer up are not corresponding to the cultic requirements. Abuse of authority and power turn up where priests are acting in own interest instead of taking seriously their mediator role between God and the people. |
