completely, especially after liberalisms enlightenment philosophers and the rise of rationalism culminating in the french revolution. I'm not denying the western church is very powerful but it's not what it once was. Please watch the video it talks about the rise of evangelical christianity in latam by the cia to further imperialism and how a lot of catholics in latam were actually an active obstacle to imperialism.
I don't use videos for research, apologies.
I can read information 10x faster and that is my preferred means.
Is Catholicism what it once was? Of course not. Is it more powerful than practically any single corporation or other organization? CERTAINLY
The land alone... and that's a real tangible asset. All religions combined? that's a lot of influence.
Ok so we are in agreement?? Because that's what I was saying. I mean I dont know if would say they are more powerful than the US or blackrock but very powerful still
