The Church has throughout history sided with royalty to oppress the people.
And you learned this nonsense from what anti-Catholic pulpit? Or did you learn it from whimsical novels like the 'DaVinci Code'? Or was it learned from the trustworthy media? Perhaps from the revisionist, anti-Catholic history books that permeate the earth? Or was it on PBS television? Maybe the BBC aired a "special" you saw? It's odd though, many on these threads condemn the Church for being too much in favor of the 'common' people. But the Church has been attacked, maligned and bloodied from day one, it will never change because Satan never rests.
