I am very certain if you as the publisher of this story, what his religious inclination is, he'll quickly say without thinking. I am a Christian.
Ever wondered why Muslim and their Islam is spreading quickly? I'll give you one of the reasons.
It's because they understand the scripture Mark 3:24-27, it says "And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand".
How many newspaper columns have we seen exposing the excesses of Muslim Imams? It doesn't mean that they are as holy as not to commit fornication, adultery or any other evil. But, its because, they understand that kind of publicity will in Jesus Christ's own words "divide their house"...
Am I saying its good for these "so called" pastors, to embarrass themselves (not Jesus Christ) by fighting over money? Absolutely not! Will the writer/publisher (of this story) publish a story about his/her mother wetting her bed (on the naijapals, or any other media for that matter?), even though she does? Absolutely not! He wouldn't do that because He'd not want the whole world to know about her "FAMILY" problem, because its supposed to stay within the "FAMILY".
Christianity is losing relevance not because God is no longer powerful, but because we (Christians) are our own enemies. Matthew 10:36, Micah 7:6. Remember the bible says in Luke 17:1 "...Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offenses will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!" God will deal with those Pastors, and every offender Himself.
I stand for the truth and will defend my Faith as much as I can. That's what Muslims are doing. Other religions are doing same, except Christians. We are the only ones washing our dirty linens in public. If we want to preach Christ and make him proud we should learn to defend our faith, solve our problems within the FAMILY and be our brother's keeper, God won't do that for us. We should take a Cue from the Muslims, and we'll grow.
Than you all,
