Kingdom of Man
The Church is run by men. It's preposterous to claim any connection with God, let alone a privileged connection or an exclusive connection — without that connection being backed by the god in question.

Grace
God used Jesus to expose the Temple as outside God's grace.
God used Ivan Illich to expose the Church as outside God's grace.
The above is "theology": a step or two removed: theology by association.
It doesn't matter how high in a church the priests elevate themselves: so long as Jesus is still nailed on the cross (like a carcass in the ghouls' and vampires' meat locker, and all around him hang the innumerable leasts of these his brethren).
God is still using pk to expose the human world's dominant kleptocracy as wholly of a kind with the Temple and the Church: outside God's grace.
In God's kingdom good will be rewarded. Meantime, we're in the kingdom of man: and evil reigns: not unchallenged, but unsuccessfully challenged.
