Or maybe he's just a pastor who is unfortunate enough to have a congregation that nit-picks and finds fault with everything he says.

I know some people who keep bouncing from church to church, until they run out of churches within easy Sunday driving distance, then they just stay home on Sunday because no nearby church is good enough for them. What they don't realize is if they ever found a perfect church they wouldn't be allowed in, because if they started attending a perfect church it wouldn't be perfect any more.
