"Who wants to rule? People who are unscrupulous, who are power hungry," he says. "So time and again, we've seen this... So this is our history." He doesn't want the church to rule, but a closer association between it and government would be better than violence or persecution of others that don't share faith.

Episode notes
Laurie discusses DC Schindler’s views on the limitations of liberal religious toleration and his argument for a better toleration that coincides with increased influence or even establishment of the Catholic Church. This subject allows Laurie to contrast Schindler’s views with those of Christian anarchists and anti-empire theologians, and to explore whether or not Schindler’s views are, in fact, utopian, or at least unconsciously still influenced by Enlightenment thinking.
