	“A FIRE STRONG ENOUGH TO CONSUME THE HOUSE:" THE WARS OF RELIGION AND THE RISE OF THE STATE”
		Religion is no longer a matter of certain bodily practices within the Body of Christ, but is limited to the realm of the "soul," and the body is handed over to the State.
		Religion is a universal essence detachable from particular ecclesial practices, and as such can provide the motivation necessary for all citizens of whatever creed to regard the nation‑state as their primary community, and thus produce peaceful consensus.
		Religion is detached from its specific locus in disciplined ecclesial practices so that it may be compatible with the modem Christian's subjection to the discipline of the State.

	THE WARS OF RELIGION AND THE RISE OF THE STATE
		It is important to see that the origins of civil dominance over the Church predated the soand#8209;called "Wars of Religion." As early as the fourteenth century, the controversy between the Papalists and Conciliarists had given rise to quite new developments in the configuration of civil power.
		The result was the Thirty Years' War (1618and#8209;1648), the bloodiest of the soand#8209;called "Wars of Religion." Emperor Ferdinand II's goal was to consolidate his patchwork empire into a modem state: Habsburg, Catholic, and ruled by one sovereign, unrivaled authority.
		The wars of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries testify that the transfer of ultimate loyalty to the liberal nationand#8209;state has not curbed the toll of war's atrocities.
