Understood - my comment was more as a reminder that the Church could be deadly with claims of heresy and such for those who opposed/belied teachings "outside religion" as it has been known to consider itself to be the absolute expert on most things over a certain period - being made of mortals, it can be just as petty and obnoxious, and wrong as anyone of us but some enjoy the political type powers.
The Church would better serve mankind by sticking to the Good News of the Gospel - especially since when it comes out on how we might destroy the earth God gave us, it seems to ignore that God has already told us how things go...
