Now, another aspect of of this conception
of centrality is the absence of protest.
There is in the centralized church, there is no room for
protest and for expressing divergence of opinions.
We can understand how it was difficult to
combine the theory of democracy with the theory of church.
And even Pope John Paul II stressed that theory
of democracy as no room inside the church.
And that's why one of the weaknesses of the Roman Catholic Church
is not to be able to take into account
the diversity of opinions and of sensibilities inside the church.
If for instance, in Latin America,
Christianism is not counseled in the same manner than in Europe,
there is no possibility inside centralization for
making these two opinions coexisting inside
the Roman Catholic organization.
Third aspect, when a so
centralized church was created, was built,
there was a strong chance of rivalry with the political power,
how to conserve this division of labor between religion and
politics, between church and state.
And you know that this original rivalry between church and
state, generated the process of state making.
The state, the western state was creating, but
trying to get
emancipated from the tutorship of the pope and of the church.
