You could say the same stuff about the historical priesthood. For ages, knowledge, and science were cultivated by priests. They were the ones that could read, write, they hand-copied books, they advised rules, helped peasants, took care of sick, poor and so an so.

Which doesn't invalidate my critique about the corruption. The mechanisms are exactly the same.
