Unfortunately, the pope has a lot of power as has any cardinal or high level scientology gurus who take confessions from high power and influential people.

Even if they keep their oat of silence to the particulars of the confessions, they still give informed sermons , write dogma that people of faith take to heart more than non-believers would like to.

Nation leader kiss the ring and have privatetête-à-têtes with the pope for reasons.

'The book is centered around the theme of redemption, with the subtitle mentioning a “quest to rediscover Microsoft’s soul.” […] The dark age — Steve “Developers” Balmer’s Microsoft, with Microsoft stagnant and missing winnable opportunities, like mobile — contrasted against this brave, bright new era where a nearly-assertive Redmond pushes frontiers in places like AI.'

'Like any cult, it encourages the person to internalize their failures and externalize their successes.'
