I'm afraid this is too conspiratorial. If you're going to see the Vatican as a modern Gadianton, you may as well add all other man made religions as well. I'm surprised you didn't include lobbying, which at one time was a civil wrong in the United States (Teachout, 2014) or the Church's most recent condemnation of nationalism (October Address, 2017). You cannot blame the origin secret combinations on a particular belief or sect of people. What about conservatives like Prime Minister David Cameron who supported same-sex marriage? Or the Anarchist Pierre Joseph Proudhon's support of the family unit and the death penalty? It's not all black and white, that's the nature of subjective man-made philosphies. You can take any position you want.
Very cool, love this.
