Totally agree.  What political turmoil if every religious entity demanded to be recognized as a political one?  The RCC, as the Vatican, is in the tradition of Constantine, not the gospel!
Truly a  desecration  of the the gospel!
Jesus would be rolling over in his grave of what is done in his name!
Is he roiling in heaven?
Maybe he can dispatch Mary with an apparition message for the Vatican to cease and desist pretending to be both a church and a state!
