diocese
A diocese is an administrative unit where bishops, self-styled agents of the divine, flaunt their authority over a confined flock. It enjoys impunity by collecting tithes and offerings under the guise of spiritual salvation, while functioning as an impregnable fortress of infallibility. Ostensibly a bond of community, it is in fact a cunning enclosure designed for organizational defense and mind control. Believers flock here to purchase indulgences for their earthly desires through worship, and any question posed is gently reminded of the forbidden outside world.
