Yes, I'm aware of your opinions on the matter. Yet they remain that.

If the Reformation is now the sole cause of mankind's present ills, and general separation from the Holiness of the Lord, then much share of the blame for it occurring must be laid at the feet of those churchmen of the Middle Ages whose own intransigence, sin, and heretical behavior in opposition to the Lord and His Ways, caused it to occur.

If the spread of atheism is the chief problem, then how can the re-institution of near unbridled power that was known by the European church of the Middle Ages be the cure?

The world has been there, and done that, and will have no more of it.
