I don't need therapy from people, as I've got a relationship with God, himself. Best Therapist ever.

The question is a little convoluted with all the links to news stories involving corporate, government and theological people doing immoral acts, but I think you're asking who should be teaching morality and values to our young people and people seeking guidance.
That being the assumption I'm operating under, I would answer the same as I've always believed, it is the parents responsibility to teach their children a moral code that is consistent with what society in general has regulated and litigated.
We must all remember that our corporate leaders, civic political leaders and even our clergy are still only human beings and as such are capable of the same sins or crimes as anyone else. You will have a certain percentage in any profession that play by the rules and those that are of the "what's in it for me?" mode of operation.
Moral advice that you receive from anyone must be received that it is an opinion of a person who is subject to personal, political or corporate influence and as a result of their unique experiences. Evaluate the advice to ascertain it's value and validity to your situation and seek advice from several sources and do the same with each. Eventually you'll find some common threads that make sense to you.

I trust the icons of Silent Cinema: Garbo, Swanson, Gish, Gilbert, Valentino, Chaney, Conrad Veidt, Emil Jannings and Louise Brooks.

I know what u mean. i live in a country where scandals are just publicity. everyday is frustrating, we have opposition politicians who've done nothing but to oppose and squash every move the administration politicians do; we have admin politicians that prioritizes in depending themselves with these attacks; we have churches (diff. sects and religions) that participating in the squabble of these politicians; we have businessmen who support these things financially; we have leftist, rightist and common people being used in the bickering; and to sum it all we have a dwindling country and we have people like me who's slowly losing hope because of this things. but i can still see light to these darkness, we cannot generalize people in this country knowing that there are still good people living here hoping and waiting someday that the rest of our countrymen realized that these things lead to nothing. that's the reality, there are good and bad things/people to this world and for me that's my therapy...knowing where I stand.

What does one thing have to do with another? There have always been frauds for as long as human existence. However we can not live in a constant state of paranoia. There is more good in this world than bad.
