do you think the catholic church effectively utilized wokeness by funneling money into the colonization and rape of the americas after issuing the doctrine of discovery which effectively legalized the subjugation of indigenous peoples?
The one thing I have to say in favour of the Catholic Church is that it's a powerful institution that predates capitalism and is therefore not fully bound by its incentive structure. It's a fundamentally reactionary institution, but it can go against the economic grain, occasionally in a socially beneficial way.
This might be getting the causality wrong.
