TSCC own definition: "Priestcraft. Men preaching and setting themselves up for a light to the world that they may get gain and praise of the world; they do not seek the welfare of Zion."
A dictionary definition: "a derogatory reference to priests who use their influence to control secular or political affairs"
Using either definition, the leadership in TSCC is involvee more in priestcraft than in the priesthood. A calling in the bishopric and stake presidency is often more about the arrogance and social climbing of the person called than a concern for providing spiritual guidance and counseling for the members. One of the many hazards of a lay clergy and calling those with no formal training.
