Does anyone know if there is a confession of deliberate analogy to the Catholic Church from the writers and/or producers of DS9? I mean, the Kai is obviously papal, and Bajoran religion has pretty much the same effect on Bajor that Catholicism had on Europe. --The Rev 17:27, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
- The Vedek Assembly appears to be an analog of the College of Cardinals within the Roman Catholic Church.
- Show it was deliberate and we can add it back :) — Morder 11:11, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
