"Philocracy" is not the same as "theocracy," the term by which the power of
church is usually implicated. What is commonly understood by "theocracy" would be better termed "hierocracy" - government by the clergy, ecclesiastical rule.The true theocracy is philocracy, since God is not clergy, God is love.
