"[E]ven the good, made absolute, becomes evil. Even the best can be perverted by idolatry (the Law, the Temple, religion itself). None is immune to apostasy. None is able, however apostate, to negate the work of Christ.'*-----------------------------/
"When a particular Power becomes idolatrous, placing itself above God's purposes for the good of the whole, then that Power becomes demonic. The church's task is to unmask this idolatry and recall the Powers to their created purposes in the world-"so that the Sovereignties and Powers should learn only now, through the Church, how comprehensive God's wisdom really is."**
