The third and most destructive variety of civil religion arises when religious and political objectives collapse into one another and come to resemble the kind of radical eschatology Eric Voegelin called gnosticism. The Civitas Terrena becomes confused with the Civitas Dei. Public policy becomes a means of redemption and replaces acts of charity. Law exhausts the pious desire for righteousness and replaces it with political ambition, abolishing the Augustinian distrust of both human nature and state action. The church becomes confused with the state, and the state threatens to overwhelm the church as the church—the corpus mysticum.
This looks to me like the immanent run on the Federal Reserve! But then you already knew that...


Notice how the corner church is NOT an ecclesiastical organization? (View Attachment.)

I describe this paradigm between constructive and destructive (above) - that abolishing the Fed is constructive, rather than redemption being destructive in the Gospel of Pragmatism.



Title 26 USC §501(c)(3)

I italicize church above regarding Paul’s formation of ecclesia because this organization – church or association of churches – is actually a Disqualified Organization in the description of Title 26 USC §501(c)(3) government-sanctioned tax-free non-profit religious organizations. Virtually every church of significance in America is §501(c)(3) but by legal definition, not a single one of these churches is actually a church in the sense of being an ecclesia sanctified to In summary Disqualified Organizations as found in Title 26 USC §501(c)(3) are churches described at Title 26 USC §170 and there we find the description ...churches and associations of churches. More interesting though is that Title 26 USC §501(c)(3) corporate persons who await approval by the IRS for their tax-exempt status are found awaiting approval at Title 26 USC §508. Typically in the bylaws of any Title 26 USC §501(c)(3) church we find stipulated certain No part of the net earnings of the Center shall inure to the benefit of or be distributable to any member of the Center which is not then an exempt organization described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.

Therefore all the People allegedly in the CHURCH are not considered people but rather, are Title 26 USC §501(c)(3) corporate persons awaiting approval found at Title 26 USC §508! Thank God (quite literally) that Title 26 USC §508 (C)(1)(a) recognizes these same churches and associations of churches as Mandatory Exception to the Internal Revenue Code entirely. The point being that the church recognized to have nothing to do with the Federal Reserve System (IRS) is NOT the church created by Paul while in Roman protective custody! Paul’s church is the church he formed from Rome – appropriately a government-sanctioned religious organization found at Title 26 USC §501(c)(3) – also known as Christianity. In preparation for Castle Church near the end of this treatise please begin to understand why Pragmatism forming a Mandatory Exception profits from this Gospel of Pragmatism being derived from a radical interpretation of the Parable of Mark if you will, so as to never be confused with Christianity.
Ecclesia of course consists of people. Religion is comprised of policy within the amoral setting of a corporation.
