As we try to move toward better democracy (or at least like to think we do), most of european society got rid of its 2nd Estate – the nobility. Democratic revolutions in America & France left the 1st Estate – the clergy – untouched. It’s time to push for more democratic reform in religion, to demythologize (eg, ‘ordination’) and get rid of the 1st Estate, and raise up new models of religious leaders as the Radical Reformation of 500 years ago proposed.
