I agree, actually.
If we put on our history glasses, we found that the church got suckered into a bastardized arrangement with the state only a few hundred years into its existence. We know today that it’s stupid (who wants the DMV running their church, not to mention pagan influences?) but some of our cultural assumptions still reflect that old paradigm.
A more-secularized state might be an excellent idea as in part of a picture in which we expect less out of the state, and more out of the church. The state church was a trip that got all kinds of garbage going with a religious fervor.
True ,.. true , .. too true !
The State agenda is (the Gospel) being preached from the pulpit (the media), and then
the plate (taxes) is being passed to contribute , or else ...
The fact that this high priest (sniederman) acts on behalf of the pope (cuomo) can be demonstrated by the anti-corruption investigation suddenly terminated by the 'pope',
especially when it got too close to the popes fundraisers in the college of cardinals (Senate&Assembly).
Fortunately, St. Loretta pursued the abruptly terminated investigation, resulting in banishment of two cardinals ( silver and skelton).
Thus , did the pope (cuomo) survive until the next Inquisition.. the next Inquisistion .. etc. !
