My favourite story...long time American TV evangilist Jimmy Swaggart had to resign his "ministry" after getting caught consorting with a prostitute
The Jimmy Swaggart hour had run for many years on US TV, had raised millions of dollars (mostly for Swaggart to use on essentials like mercedes cars and things) and Swaggart was one of the "you are a sinner and you're going to hell" fire and brimstone kind of preachers. He denounced gays and drug takers and fornicators and people who wore purple shoes and pretty much everyone but him and only a year earlier Swaggart denounced his fellow evangilist Jim Bakker as a sinner worthy of death for his sex scandal...all the while he'd been using prostitutes (i.e. engaging in the sin of fornication) over and over again.
It was nice to see a fundamentalist Christian get what he deserved
