The church has been constitutionalized into what it is today: Power-driven and believing in immunity beyond their own beliefs.

Pope has to go. Start cleaning this ***up.

Which church?

There are so many Christian "sects" that you got to be more specific.

I assume that too, but many "sects" have the Pope as the leader.

But then again, he could be talking about Christianity in general.

From an outsider's point of view (I'm not Christian, I'm Unitarian) I believe that Christian's hiarchy of power is justified by its long history of feudalism, and that they are basically what they are, a Middle Age religion that survived based on numbers alone.

Not going against the religion, but its the only religion out there thats structure is based on converting as many people as possible, and "demanding" contributions from their "servants" by ways of force (previously physical, now mental). And they are sucessful in that they haven't been "overthrown" by feudal lords just like that because of their promises that are not 100% guaranteed until death (believe in God and pay contributions to the Church, go to heaven after death).

Since there is no way in knowing if their promises are accurate until after you make that big leap in life (pun intended) then there hasn't been a change in their feudalistic tendencies.
