The Grand Inquisitor

I don't know why people think the Grand Inquisitor chapter in the Brothers Karamazov is some sort of atheist manifesto. It's basically a very piercing critique of the Roman Catholic Church; and extremely on-the-mark, in my opinion. It's definitely deep waters. More deep waters than what's gone on prior in the novel. Ivan, in the novel, uses the three things Satan tempted Jesus with in the desert to describe how the RCC has gone over to Satan's side to 'improve' what Jesus did. It gets deeply into history as well as globalist Satanic movements. Idolatry, etc. Usually in classic novels when Christian doctrine is discussed in any way it's never impressive. This is impressive.
