143. Catholicism was a global empire at one point ...

... Catholics priests were deeply involved in politics and it hurt both parties. I think that the clergy is well aware of this and they really don't want to resume that role ever again. The church keeps getting more liberal as we go along.

The Southern Baptists by contrast have NEVER been in this role. They deeply crave the authority of the Ayatollahs. They just don't realize the level of corruption it brings to be a political AND spiritual organization.
