Abstract
The relationship between Christ and Caesar, between the Church and the World, has been the subject of thought, debate, and sometimes bloodshed for thousands of years. Each side claims to hold a trump card of allegiance, whether natural or supernatural. Conflicting loyalties can cause problems for a society. Collaboration can produce a sacralism that combines two types of potent power: secular and religious. While seeming to promoting harmony, this can also cause problems in the long run (and in the short run for those falling outside of the governmental /ecclesiastical mainstream).
