20. I'd have to agree

The politicians looked back on history and saw how totally the nobles of Europe ruled when the Church was on their side, so they made a devil's alliance with the clergy who were willing to sell their faith for power. The problem is when you mix the two, because people DON'T become clergy to gain power, but politics is a profession that is motivated and driven by personal ambition. When you mix religion and politics, you get a very deadly cocktail indeed.
