Yeah, it is why the pope was able to inspire every catholic nation to set out on crusades, to excommunicate countires and effect their world standing at will. To give Brazil (New World demarcation line) to Portugual (via papal bull Isued by Alexander the VI, also known as Rodrigo Borgia!)
And Rodrigo is really known for being honest, and Holy right?
Religion is a powerful tool, sucked up by fools, and used by those in power to enslave.
But don't tell the Red state sheeple, being a student of history shattered my belief in organized religion. I see how it is used to manipulate the masses, and saddens me how stupid other people are.
I was raised Roman catholic, from a devout Italian family. (disclaimer)
