I'm not going to act like there was no corruption in the church. There still is plenty. Its a worldly institution made up of people bound to have flaws and hypocrisies, and sometimes hidden blatant malice. However it merits the respect due to it by believers and unbelievers alike because of its endeavor to bring people to truth, its selflessness and un-worldliness, and its positive contributions, which I believe (and evidence confirms) far outweigh the ill. You don't have to be a Christian to recognize that the church it an institution bent on righteousness and is therefore an objectively positive force for mankind.
