The power of the Christian Church as a ... political institution has declined ... to near irrelevance ... in most of the developed world. Contrast to a time when the church ... was the dominant power. The church can no longer make ... law. Even if it makes law, it has no ... police ... to enforce its law. Submission to the church is ... voluntary. Submission to the state is ... mandatory. If you break the State's laws ... the State can punish you ... even put you to ...death. If you break church law the most the church can ... do is ... kick you out of the church. If they kick you out, you no longer ... contribute any money to them. LOL! Without the power of ... violence ... to enforce its way, the church sinks into ... irrelevance.
