"Actually I think the Catholic Church, now that it has less political prominence than it used to have, might be redeemed thereby. It is no longer at the heart of the Empire, which I think is a place where it never belonged."
Perhaps... but Pentacostalism has found its home here in America, now pretty much inarguably the new Rome in its imperialism, extending even unto the symbol of the Eagle as warbird. The Pope is replaced with Pat Robertson. And whereas Jesus (the man they claim to follow) hung out with the mass unwashed and cared for the sick and downtrodden, these folks preach about the evils of the government giving financial assistance to poor mothers because they are sinful and undeserving.
