Jesus called religious leaders of his day whitened gravestones [tombs] would he do the same today?

Matthew 23:37 Jesus says, “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the killer of the prophets and stoner of those sent forth to her,—how often I wanted to gather your children together, the way a hen gathers her chicks together under her wings! But YOU people did not want it. 38 Look! YOUR house is abandoned to YOU. 39 For I say to YOU, YOU will by no means see me from henceforth until YOU say, ‘Blessed is he that comes in Jehovah’s name!’” Matthew 6:9 Jesus says, “YOU must pray, then, this way: “‘Our Father in the heavens [Jehovah], let your name be sanctified [or hallowed]. John 17:3 Jesus praying to his Father Jehovah "This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God [Jehovah], and of the one whom [[you sent forth]], Jesus Christ. 4 I have glorified you [Jehovah God] on the earth, having finished the work [[you have given me to do]]."

So Jesus made clear the Jewish religious system was abandoned because they did not bless he [Jesus and his followers at that time] that came in Jehovah’s name! [and now today also] Proverbs 18:10 says, "The name of Jehovah is a strong tower. Into it the righteous runs and is given protection." Psalms 83:18 says, "[[That people may know]] that you, whose name is Jehovah, You alone are the Most High over all the earth." For a person or religious system to abandon Jehovah and his sent Son Jesus is a serious sin. And if they do not repent they will be abandoned because they are like the killers of the prophets and stoner of those sent forth to her Jerusalem. How do you treat those today that come to your door in Jehovah's hallowed name? Would you like to kill and stone them without good cause too?

Well he'd probably update the language a bit but sure he would. Reading what Jesus is said to have said, very little has to do with establishing a new religion or reforming the existing one. He primarily spoke of what it means to live a good life. One doubts that the beatitudes are foremost in the minds of many, if not most, church leaders today.

You’re right. Jesus wasn’t quite the mild-mannered pacifist that so many picture him to be. He called ‘em like he saw ‘em, but he had the benefit of being able to read their hearts. We can’t read hearts, but we can judge by the fruit of those who call themselves Christians.

Whenever I see something like this, I am reminded of 2 Timothy 3:1-7: “But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away! For of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts, always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.” Anyone who denies Christ in them (by the power of Holy Spirit), the hope of glory (Colossians 1:27) will never have power over sin.

And this lust problem is not limited to Catholic priests. It crosses all religious boundaries and denominational lines.
