Great post. The thing that the catholic church fears the most is society realising that it is the personal connection to God (through Christ) that matters.
In fact, this kind of empowerment scared Rome so much that they had to kill Christ, as he was freeing people of self inflicted bondage.
For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. - Matthew 7:8
Why does a connection with God have to be through someone else? According to the Bible Jesus said he as a son of God as we are all sons of God and also said when you pray go into your closet ..not a church.
For a pope on a throne in red shoes and carried on a litter surrounded by men in frocks to call themselves followers of a man who did not want power or money or a throne..is absolutely ridiculous.
