2. I think the Roman Catholic Church's time for that has passed.

Its influence on political realities has faded greatly. Personally, I think the RCC is doomed by it's own ponderous patriarchal hierarchy and its general and egregious corruption. That does not mean, however, that those who are currently working toward a dominionist goal are not succeeding. The religious right has steadily put people into powerful government positions.

In the Trump administration, that progress has been accelerated. While Donald Trump, in his childish way, may not realize it, others are taking advantage of his massive ignorance and probably dementia to install dominionists wherever possible.

I wish this were discussed more and pointed out more.
