"Fortunately the RCC is a monarchical institution that does not tolerate DIMocracy in the pews."

A statement one could make about every religious cult that ever existed.

The term is hierarchial. But every organization is that. Even the most egalitarian must at least accept the concept of first among equals. Yes, the Catholic Church is monarchical in a since, since we accept Christ as king. Christ is king, Mary is the queen mother, and the pope is his prime minister.

Anyone that looks up the definition of "cult" in like Wiki, will gather that you are not sincere, or you are dim, in calling the 2000 year old Catholic Church a cult. Do yourself a favor and think before you label yourself.

re; Please show where I ever said the Catholic Church is a cult. A statement was made about the Catholilc Church and I said the same statement could apply to every cult that ever existed.

Pardon the misunderstanding, but what you wrote reads like I interpreted it:

"Fortunately the RCC is a monarchical institution that does not tolerate DIMocracy in the pews."

A statement one could make about every religious cult that ever existed.

Now, if that's not what you meant, then let me add that your comment makes no sense altogether, since no religious cults have ever been monarchical institutions.
