than done...as Christianity is a (it seems) inherently Authoritarian thing...at least as commonly organised.
Likely a holdover from stepping in to the vacuum left by Rome.
Exceptions prove it. Quakers, etc
What Liberals(or just not Batshit World Domination-Obsessed Crazy)there are, need our support.It can't be easy to stand up in such institutions...especially when they're dominated by such Belligerence.
