I believe that when Christianity started in Judea it was a fellowship. When Christianity spread to Greece it became a philosophy. When it spread into Italy, it became an institution. When it finally saturated Europe, Christianity became a culture. And after spreading to America, Christianity became an enterprise.

I see these organizations as simply incorporated franchises of Apostolic Christianity.
imagine that in this day and age, prejudice against iTALIANS.
What do you mean it became an institution? You think Italians go around creating institutions? Meanwhile the Greeks sit around all day drinking ouzo, and playing with komboloi. Yeah, the Greeks big philosophers, meanwhile the Italians are busy doing the work, getting things done. But do they get positive credit? No, that is reserved for Greeks, drinking coffee, playing cards, tossing komboloi. Listen, if it wasn't for the Italians you would all be in mud huts painting your skin blue.
