text: Wrong again, Trid. It might be accurate to label the secular world as "humanist" but to conflate the secular world as "Empire" totally misses the mark. Progressives place value on humanism because our magnificent Savior did the same thing when He created man in His image. The RCC, however, saw fit to model its church nearly 100% in lockstep with the "Holy" Roman Empire. Just think about that... Holy Roman Empire = Holy Roman Church. The early Christians had such disdain for the Roman state they called it the whore of Babylon as identified in Scripture. 
  
  It's unfortunate when the facts of history are in stark contrast to your world view. I urge you to pray and study about this as time is running short, and to be on the wrong side of history may very well have lasting consequences which  will be revealed to us on judgment day. So to whom does you allegiance lie, Trid... our magnificent Lord and Savior or the corrupt, stale remnant of the Holy Roman Empire?
