They've fought against those attempts to end Christianity and suffered great losses, but never have they led these new rules of Christianity. Rules that have surely brought the credibility of the Church down.

You do realize that Christianity is not one big group with a singular leader, right? There are many different churches that fall under the Christian umbrella - many that disagree on a variety of things, not the least of which is politics. Most of these public "leaders" don't lead squat. They don't have congregations and they don't have followers. And even the ones that are, don't speak for Christianity as a whole. Sure, they TRY to and people in the media legitamize them, but that doesn't change the fact that these "leaders" don't speak for most of Christianity.

As such, when these leaders inevitably say and/or do something stupid, it has minimal effect on Christianity as a whole.
