    If you do not understand the difference between ecclesia and religio, I cannot really help you further. It does, however, suggest a lack of understanding of some important concepts. Understanding that distinction would also answer your last question.

    Edit: Ah, and by the way, saying that the decline of the Catholic Church is a good thing does not make you much different from the more extreme Christians you criticize. Both positions ultimately celebrate the weakening of a group.

      I am just happy that an organization that have decided life and death for people, cultures and religions for centuries is in decline. Hilariously, it happens due to the absolute choke hold it has had on the world, being lifted. As soon as it has fewer privileges or power, it is sent into a spiral of disappearing members.
