You misunderstood me. Many people assume that a Rabbi will automatically be who knows what and above and beyond reproach and have sterling middos and the right hashkafah and yards yards yadda. But it has never been that way. Going back to the beginning of our history we have had bad Rabbis. There were neviei shaker, false prophets and all kinds of fake Rabbonim and Rebbes and mekubalim throughout the years. Like I said before, Rabbi often means simply that he can learn, many called Rabbi don’t even have semicha. Today everyone w a beard and went to kollel is Rabbi. Bottom line, even if a person learned Torah, if he never learned mussar and never worked on himself he can be evil as can be. In fact he will twist and pervert the Torah to give himself a pass on all the evil things that he perpetrates. So again stop assuming that because someone has a title he actually lives up to it. There are corrupt cops, corrupt judges, corrupt senators and congressmen, corrupt Dr’s and corrupt Rabbis. Its a fact that has always existed. In the times of Moshe Rabbeinu we had Korach who was almost as great as Moshe yet we see where he ended up. In the time of David Hamelech we hated doieg who was a member of the Sanhedrin who became a non believer and blasphemed and did other wicked acts. Fake Rabbis who only care about themselves are nothing new to us.
