This is no coincidence. The similarities are stunning. I think "GAME OF THRONES" is very hard satire about the "progressive" and "human" face of modern catholicism. This is good. Very good. Religion is the opiate of the masses. And Religion poisons everything. Religion is the same as yesterday. Everything as Karl Marx or Christopher Hitchens said. All this as yesterday or 1000 years ago. Religion has no face. Religion knows no personalities. For religion we are all impersonal. For religion we are all "nobody" and "faceless" - as Arya Stark for the Faceless Men in the Free City of Braavos. For religion nothing matters because you'll die at some point. For religion nothing is precious. Because we must die. People are mortal and people are dirt for religion. As always. The similarities between the High Sparrow and the Pope Francis show us that catholicism is no modern and humane religion. The authors of GAME OF THRONES want to say that. And that's good.
