Well the catholic church was just about the only thing left of the Western
Roman Empire in Europe. With the collapse of the central government and a
strong religion you'd get that kind of thing. Look to the east a bit and the

Empire. More places on BM have strong governments and weak religions,
simply because the governments got their first and haven't collapsed.
