What makes this particular special interest group worthy of individual consideration is: 1) its size, 2) the international and authoritarian nature of the hierarchy that controls it, and 3) the fact that, unlike most of the other special interest groups with which American Democracy is currently confronted, the Roman Catholic Church in its special interest role seeks not the economic advancement of its members but control over the morals, education, and free expression of members...
