Religion in the hands of tyrannies is only a mind controlling tool, and by loges and diverse sects witch are at there hierarchical to sit al together on one table, religion is a many sided hydra or octopus whit at the end the same center. The people they get not under the control of religions, the get under control by other mind controlling tools, lice atheism nihilism materialism satanism et et et et et et.
Way they work together?, because of the same reason like the mafia bosses work together even if thes are in the same time in concurrence for the biggest territory. But all barbarian organizations need a king, so the mafia use the most successful and intelligent one of them as there king. Without the hierarchy barbarians fall in to anarchy and lose there power structure. hierarchy is expertly important for all barbarian tyrannies, even more important then all the bosses in the game. Without hierarchy, no king of the world.
And the hierarchy allows that at the bottom of a structure are normal nice people whit don't have a clue what is going on at the top. So it is important to do not attack a entire system, but only the power at the very top of the hierarchy, because there it stink the most. It is wrong to use words like "catholicism" in general because of many reasons. Not all people of such believing systems are evil, so never attack people in general for there membership of a certain group, luck more exactly by analyze there goals characters an positions in the structure. Use is never "the catholics" or "the jews" or "the ...", it is all the time a tyrannical center at the top of the hierarchy and a mass down follow them used blind misled and manipulated. For the top of the hierarchy there down are only slaves living shields solders or what ever, used to build there own enslavement whit there help.
Catholicism is so only a group of many, but interesting because the power structure can tax them directly (in my country they use even the government system to enforce the church tax), and specially it is a shield of sheepy believers don't now what gous on in the center of there organization, and never ever understand that the center is pure satanic, and the evil hide hit self behind what lucks from outside like the most holy. This holy shiny shield is a psychological high barrier to see the real and ugly troth. So if you criticize the church, you have immediately millions of enemies tray to protect there believe and there power structure even whit good indention's.
So they don't need to convert everybody whit catholicism because they control by loges and secret societies almost all believing systems (religious and non religious). But anyway it is good for them to have so many people under there direct control as possible, as there shield and tax payers.
In the more violent past it was more important so convert people in a period of empire building by war, wen the mafia bosses of tyranny fight against each other to get the biggest peace. now the mafia bosses sit together on a rout table because the territories are now better organized and they have more tools then only violence.

This so called religions are in fact antireligions, tray to disconnect people from there spirituality, put them in to stupid sheepy believing systems instead to teach them wisdom and replace the spiritual creator whit there priesthood. The vatican has no problem to spit pure blaspheme in your face by saying "the pope is infallible an so god like" "the pope is the direct manifestation of god" "so pray the pope instead to god" "pay money so the priesthood forgive you sins" "you don't go in to the heaven without the blessings of the priesthood" and so one, and so one, and so one...... this shows you the real barbarian and satanic nature of egoistic empire builders using sheepy believers as there slaves. And the vatican is not the only rotten barbarian satanic priesthood, there are many today and many in the past. If you could destroy the complete vatican power, the cancer grows under a other label and the same ideologies and goals again somewhere else. (i think, Eric Phelps believe, if the vatican and the jesuites are out of business, everything is better because the medusa lose here hed. But this is wrong. Like cancer tyranny will grow up again if the cause in the mind is not removed in the conciseness of the human race.)
And then look to there logo, it is a satanic symbol, both cruses are demonic. that witch point down is the symbol for matter and pain (for you) and this witch points op is the symbol for ear and exces (lucifer, for the satanists). This cruse is a torture killing weapon, it was used to kill painfully countless people. And what the priesthood spit in your face is, "your god is dead, and we kill him". (lock to the a variant of the cruse witch the horizontal bar is bend (tanks for the picture, bluestix) down and forward, and the figure is in his knees. The normal cruse is not enough, they have to bend is, and encapsulate you in the unrecognized satanic ritual) if they use this symbol they practice in fact a satanic mass, in the open, because the most people don't understand the symbols and the psychology's behind. I once seen a kid standing beside me, from a other cloture (no indoctrination in this). The kid was shocked and scared(!) to see this murders figure on a cruses and ask, "who is this", answer "this is jesus our saviour", response "how hi can save as, hi is dead" !!!bingo!!! This is the real psychological effect of this symbol and the effect on the subconciseness! (i was a teenager my self and it is a long time ago, but i never forget this experience.)
And all the time, the holy shine work a shield to hide the truth, even the priests in the lower ranks of the hierarchy would never ever believe what is in the center of the temple empire.

Everything is a barbarian power and empire building, everything is organized in hierarchical structure, and everything is up to control all and everything. and there not mainly the matter, it is mainly control of the mind. You have to be under control and dependency of physical power, but mainly you have to be a prisoner in your mind. And long time before technology exist, tyrannies have only 2 main powers, brutal violence and mind control, and the mind control all the time comes first. how else you can get many people under the control of a power hierarchy and a king, to fight murder and die for him? What if they would say "you believe you are king? I don't, so **** of!" "you believe you one all the money in the world? I don't, so **** of!" to keep there power and keep you weak, they have to control people in there mind first and then in the matter.

To control the mind is mach more important then to control the matter because the second comes out of the first, and at the end it is the much higher intelligence! To enslave weaker people whit brutal violence don't needs the most intelligent tyrants only a little strategic intelligence, some psychopaths sadists murders rapists and criminals are enough if you get them under hierarchy. But mind controlling is alchemy so a high level science and the space of priesthood.
You have to see mind as a form of energy. And more believers you have, more energy is under your control. And the priesthood know how to use this energy, same like the bankers use the energy of money, and the managers in the economy use the energy of human slave work.
