Wherever a bureaucracy can silence holy men we see the mark of evil.
The Holy See is not much different from the chanceries, is it?

Hmmm, not having such a Chancery, I wouldn't know. Our Chancery has been run on a short leash by a couple of orthodox bishops.

From what I can gather, the Curia has a few highly placed people who are the big problems. They must have some sort of strong influence on everything. I'm not sure just yet who they are, but a number of knowledgable priests and bishops have complained about them without naming names. I just keep reading and someday I might figure it out.
