Throughout Western history, the Church and the State have been parallel, sometimes-overlapping, often-competing structures. When one became too corrupt or tyrannical, or crumbled into decay and disrepair, the other stepped in and took over for a time.
I think this construct has been the Secret Sauce for the rise of the West over the past millenium.
I think it's time for Jesus to take the wheel, again.
That is all.
