General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

I think that the church has ALWAYS been political.

Exploits people's deference to religion in order to advance its own ends and to legitimise power exercised by whomsoever at the time wields it.

NAZI armies blessed by the pope!

Norman thugs enjoyed the support of the church, whilst they imposed the feudal system: in effect slavery, on the populace.

In more recent times, how many vicarages had land belonging to the church, sold off fraudulently by incumbent vicars who pocketed the proceeds.

There is a group of extreme zionists who believe that they should foment a nuclear holocaust, as a prelude to a second coming. (Perhaps, first if you are Jewish)

The former Chief Rabbi, Lord Sacks, condemned them: the archbishop of Canterbury refused to so do!

I could go on, but it is there for all to find, should you bother to look.
