Is the today's roman church a structure set up with and by left over old roman empire wealth ? For they found that ruling true religion of fear you no longer have to support a big army structure . While you can order existing army's ( owned by local warlords ) to go and fight "holy" wars for you . Like the roman empire collapsed but kept a strong ruling religious base standing . Sucking more and more wealth out of the common people .
Just some thought's , nice read , connecting the dots :-)
