“somewhere in between the late middle ages and today, Christians began to detach their view of spiritual authority from the church and began to locate it the individual….Not only are various authorities pitted against one another, such as the spiritual against the political. All authorities began to be pitted against the individual and the individual conscience.” - Word by Word
