OH! I SEE! LIKE THIS....

Vatican: God made the universe, so it's too complicated for you to conceive of.
God sanctions the Church, so don't you DARE disagree with it.
You were conceived in sin, and are thereby an unholy product;
spend your life redeming the sin of your birth.

Your right, works wonderfully. Until someone wakes up and says, "Wait a
second! What do you mean the world is FLAT? Are you DAFT?" and then the whole
thing falls to pieces.
