Bending the knee is never acceptable

In today's Guardian Timothy Garton Ash writes on the Murdoch saga. The theme of his piece is that powerful people bent the knee. He talks of how Blair wooed the press barons for all he was worth.
"Only as he was about to leave office, after 10 years, did he dare to denounce the British media for behaving 'like a feral beast'."

Is it too big a jump to compare that reality with the relationship between the Irish State and the Catholic Church?
