part two -- from above

Specific examples of this are Iran-Contra, The Dirty Wars, the attack on Jean-Bertrand Aristede and Haiti plus a great many other little almost unknown and totally unknown actions or skirmiches. 
We must remember that our Catholic Church cannot raise armies any more and has not been able to do so for a long time. And yet -- the church entered politics way back in the fourth century. 
Also the churchmen are VERY/Extremely aggressive. 
So why? Because the churchmen war-death-kill-disrupt-manipulate and claim they do it for God!!! Also because the church long ago left the path of Jesus Christ. Also because the church is full of celibate men. Also because the church is an insular and very insulated organization. Insulated organizations get strange because they are mentally incestuous. 
When you consider a testosterone driven organization that is also isolated and thus mentally incestuous with no corrective mechanisms you can expect a lot of strange behaviors!!!!!
