There is a difference between understanding the horrific consequences of the church, the christian destruction of the ancient world, the ‘dumbing down’ and ‘supernaturalizing’ of greek knowledge, to create subservient authoritarian clerisy, and the ages of ignorance and poverty that resulted – and the solution to the problem of identity, self image, and status in aristocratic civilization for the underclasses and women who lack the capacity for the degree of ability, responsibility and loyalty needed to achieve status and respect under aristocratic civilization.

THE ECONOMICS OF RELIGION – CATHOLIC FINANCE
–“The medieval records show, however, that the normal economic incentive of profit drove Church practice. The ban on usury was a way to make sure that public wealth was not siphoned off to lenders but instead was available for paying tithes. What the record shows more concretely, is that the Roman Curia, or head office, loaned money to its own divisions in the field—bishops, monasteries, or religious orders—at high interest rates. This allowed Rome to collect rents downstream, a very normal profit-making practice of the multidimensional firm.”–
