Well, it works for that too.
Like I said, one could argue that the religion on which the Chapter is 
based is not the Catholic Church, but I think that is quite cumbersome 
and distracts from the parallels and themes that (I think) Wolfe is 
intentionally toying with. It's unsatisfying to me.

I could not agree more than I am agreeing at this very moment. See my 
conversation with David Stockhoff.
