Of all humankind's betrayals of its liberators, its betrayal of Christ is the hardest to bear. To create a clutch of hierarchical, misogynistic, homophobic, dogmatic churches in the name of the "lover of lovers," the one who Teresa of Avila called "the wild and broken-hearted prince of love," is an almost demonic enterprise and one that has blinded us for centuries.
