100% agree.
Hijacking the top comment to suggest everyone read the book The Dark Side of Christian History by Ellerbe. It's really good. It's super short but does a great job highlighting how at every point in the Church's history, whenever they had to make a decision, they always followed whichever direction led to more political and social power for the church at the expense of spiritual enlightenment, justice, truth (obviously), or human lives.
I read 1984 at the end of last year and man it's crazy how much Orwell basically described life under the Church during the Dark/Middle Ages at the height of it's political power.
