 It doesnt need to be. It just needs more gatekeeping, one needs to be more toxic, and physically remove troublemakers such as socialists and democrats (by which i dont mean any party as americans tend to understand it, but anyone who believes in voting) 
 Dude, even the catholic church got corrupted and put a satanist as pope. If the church can't guard itself, how can programmers? Are we any better? 
 Im not really deeply steeped in catholic history so thats going to be a hard one to adress for me. But i do know we are set up in such a way that makes it easy, we can just fork things if need be. 
 That's true.
