Sorry if that offended, but I recommend that you read the history of the church. Look at the Inquisition and the beliefs back in those days. It was death if you were Jewish, or anyother "heretic" religion. All of the christian religions were fanatical back then as well as the Hindu and Buddist religions. Killing in the name of "insert the name of your diety here" was very common place. If you were not "what ever" then you were a non-believer to be villified and demonized.
Not saying that the Catholic Church is the same today, but do not hide from the fact that it was that way before. The Catholic Church has changed and evolved. Heck, long ago priests married and had children, one of the Popes was married.
To stay the same is to stagnate and deny progress. That is one of the biggest problems in Islam today, the resistance to progress and change. As as been pointed out, that would mean the lose of power to some and the increase of power to the powerless now. Much the same as the Cardinals of several eras ago.
I can not change history, nor will I hide from history.
