"Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely."
Lord John Acton
I tend to agree with he point of view that the 'great experiment' of democracy known as the United States of America, as framed by the Constitution, could only have occurred during a brief period in history--the age of Neo-classicism. The founders understood the dangers of placing too much power in one institution, let alone, one individual.
Can a church or religion be the victim of abuse or a crime even? Yes, but they had it coming to them.
