After moral standards hardly guaranteed by traditional values and institutions are looking for people for people who can recognize as role models. We need role models. In recent months, however, a realization is inevitable, which is already old, but keep forgetting: Role models are fallible. Particularly offensive mistakes of persons acting in the space of churches. Their claim is to be moral integrity, they pass on moral standards in educational institutions and participate in public debates. Reflected in the current development, that the Church itself has become a guilty role model? In this book, say Protestant and Catholic theologians about offending models in the Christian tradition and in the present.
