TMI a little place to whine

I have come to the conclusion that the Catholic church is just as feudal, if not more so, than the Islamic religion. There is one appointed head, elected from the elite, who rules a principality, and has lieutants of lesser and less importance in charge of smaller and smaller fifedoms, all which culminate with the serfs, who are told only to pay homage, tithe to support it and obey all of the rules. Doesn't sound like the teaching of God to me, sounds more like the greed and pride of man.
