Claim. Two disqualifications are absolute for Unification leaders — failure of sexual self-control and misuse of public money — because both replay the structure of the Fall and constitute conditions through which Satan accuses the leader, the family, and the providence.
Elaboration. SMM is categorical on sexual misconduct: “From now on, there will be no forgiveness for problems with man-woman relationships. Don’t even mention forgiveness; God does not want to deal with this. What was the Fall? Didn’t it occur because people failed to control themselves sexually?” (3.3. Man-woman relationships and public money require strict discipline, 194-87, 1989.10.17). The same vigilance applies to leaders facing temptation at “the final summit” — Eve’s fall pattern repeats when men are tested at the peak of their spiritual ascent (ibid, 138-286, 1986.1.24). Public funds carry equal weight: “Public money is poison let loose by Satan. You will be ruined if you misuse public money” (ibid, 33-172, 1970.8.11), and “the most fearsome laws among the laws of the spirit world are those regarding the embezzlement of public funds and unkind treatment of a person in a public position” (ibid, 96-154, 1978.1.3). The implication: leadership ethics in CSG are not preferential rules but boundary conditions that connect directly to the fall mechanism.
