I must admit that back in the 16th century the Catholic church was pretty opportunistic with it's power... This turned the Dark Ages darker. It certainly didn't give God a good name, especially in recent years... almost like in the 70's, Amway distributors went door-to-door in the US and were really not good representatives of Amway, which gave Amway a bad name.
