That’s one of the things that is mystifyingly mind-boggling to me about the whole plethera of accoutrament entrappings of the Roman edifice.

Why didn’t someone somewhere along the way see Christ overturning all kinds of edifice tables and assumptions and driving out all manner of professional RELIGIOUS political power mongers???
