ARGUING, perhaps, but this is (or is supposed to be) debating.

Are Pastors beyond reproach or above questioning?

I would say that this is one of the STRONG points of this forum; perhaps
saints in their own Church might be embarrassed or intimidated to bring a
question (you just said that such questioning is bordering on poor
ethics; imagine the intimidation factor of a lowly saint asking their
pastor directly?)

No, the keyboard gives courage to some that need it and ignored questions
cannot help anyone.
