[QUOTE]Originally posted by First of Two: [QB] Still is, if you ask me. The point being, though, was that the church pretty much had the ultimate authority over who should rule and who should not. And nobody BUT the church had any authority over who ran the church. It's like old 1920's Chicago. If the Mob liked you, you got elected. If they didn't, you got whacked. Hence, a lot of people who got elected were beholden to "the family." Saying "the government chose the religion" is like saying "the aldermen chose the mob." When the machine is the only game in town, you play the machine. [/QB][/QUOTE]
