It's still not making sense to me. Are you saying that churches in 
general are a bad thing, or just the Catholic Church? Or -- are you 
stating that Christianity has it wrong?

Stupid wouldn't make sense in the context of the book I was looking at. 
Since they were basically stating that the Catholic church was run by a 
satanic cult. Admittedly, I don't know anyone in the upper echelons of 
the church hierarchy, I knew a lot of what went on "behind the scenes" 
(so to speak) at a Catholic church. Nothing strange or underhanded, most 
of what went on was pretty straightforward. No one was doing anything 
dishonest (or at least more dishonest than most decent people) Nothing 
at all strange went on either.
