Dr. John Rao launches into the restoration of the Sacred Imperial Empire, one of the great sagas of the 10th Century. Ultimately, an enduring Church and State union was not achieved. Although a new imperial empire was conceived by visionaries who longed for the full revival of glorious Christendom, the practical result was that the Church began to function as an appendage, rather than the moral director, of the State. Dr. Rao argues that the Church must maintain its sovereignty in relation to the State in order to fulfill its mission on earth.
