   	Write some alternate history where the Protestant accept the Pope   
   as an authority on Faith.   
      
   	We are talking here about organizations that promote myth as truth.   
   	You are talking about the myths of an afterlife that seem incoherent.   
   	Of course it could be that all those offended by Galileo were reincarnated   
   in his body and suffered the same discomforts that he did.   
   	That at least seems suitable.
