There’s a common view of the church being a vampiric power-obsesses organization.  I’m glad you have found your way here. You will find some great sections related to these topics.  May I ask, are you interested in more of the practiced work or the theology/metaphysics involved? I don’t know much of Daoism but I have studied many of the sutras and may be able to point you in the right direction.  Cheers, E.
