I agree... and at the same time, if Eli exists in the MK world, He
would have the power to do something like this.

I imagine that, just as churches today have to deal with changing
pressures, that clergy of the MK world will have to deal with it as
well.  Perhaps not right away--and Eli in His wisdom could perhaps be
delaying the inevitable to allow His church to get through the current
crisis.  However, I don't see such protection lasting in perpetuity;
from a story point of view if only because the consequences of the
curse in this context would be such a great catalyst to explorer
facets of human nature, prejudice, tradition, etc.
