Church Patriotism

Simone Weil, somewhere in Gravity and Grace, speaks of "church patriotism."  It's comparable to the knee-jerk patriotism of the "my country right or wrong" sort.  Both are forms of idolatry. Ecclesiolatry on the one hand, statolatry on the other. (That's not my coinage; bang on the link.)
