I meant that DRoK in the Christian world was a Protestant idea.
In the Far East, and in many ancient monarchies (e.g., Egypt),
the King did not just rule by divine right, he was believed to be divine himself.
The Emperor of Japan was considered to be divine until 1945!I would think that the Popes thought that they had the "Divine Right of Kings"
as they could do no wrong and when they condemned people who disagreed with them to death.

You put up a nice "holier than thou," act, friend, but when push comes to shove you always resort to cheap shots and untruths, like the one underlined above.
