Not Just Bureaucracy

Imagine for a second the Mullahs of Iran pressuring Muslim members of Congress to change American law. What do you suppose the consequences of that would be? Imagine the Mullahs actively aiding and abetting in the molestation of American children in local mosques for decades. Isn't it reasonable to suggest that the ramifications of that would be enormous? Well, the Catholic Church has done both for centuries with no consequences at all.

...If non-Catholic voters have to worry that their office-holders will represent the will of Rome before the represent the will of the people, which can only hurt Catholic representation in government.
