Steven Weinberg Quotes

Another Factor: Christianity Offered Opportunities For Advancement In The Church To Intelligent Young Men, Some Of Whom Might Otherwise Have Become Mathematicians Or Scientists. Bishops And Presbyters Were Generally Exempt From The Jurisdiction Of The Ordinary Civil Courts, And From Taxation. A Bishop Such As Cyril Of Alexandria Or Ambrose Of Milan Could Exercise Considerable Political Power, Much More Than A Scholar At The Museum In Alexandria Or The Academy In Athens. This Was Something New. Under Paganism Religious Offices Had Gone To Men Of Wealth Or Political Power, Rather Than Wealth And Power Going To Men Of Religion. For Instance, Julius Caesar And His Successors Won The Office Of Supreme Pontiff, Not As A Recognition Of Piety Or Learning, But As A Consequence Of Their Political Power.
