Thank God you’re not describing the Catholic Church.
Naw. I'm NOT describing the UNIVERSAL CHURCH OF JESUS THE CHRIST at all.
I'm ONLY describing those organizations, structures and congregations
Affiliated with; submissive to; in communion with; the Vatican in Rome and to the Pope heading that edifice and collection of "Sees," congregations, orders, organizatioins, churches, hospitals, colleges, universities, embassies, etc. thereof.
Just them.
I think y'all's cliques see them quite often . . . in mirrors.
