“If Ye Understand These Things, Ye Have Not Taught Them”

George Reynolds, Janne M. Sjodahl

Ye have perverted the ways of the Lord, is his solemn accusation. Pervert means "to turn." (1) To cause to turn from what is considered right, natural, or true; misdirect; lead astray; corrupt. (2) To turn to an improper use, misuse. (3) To change or misapply the meaning of; misinterpret; distort; twist. (4) To bring into a worse condition; debase. (Webster's New World Dictionary.) Any one of these definitions, or all of them would fit the depraved purposes of the priests.
