Why? I think Pious Paladin actually explained it rather well

"Give to Caesar everything that is Caesars"...If God created everything, Caesar deserves nothing and all belongs to God. God gets to say what happens to his stuff, not you.

The idea is the state should be subservient to the will of the Church, if it's not it's in sin. And of course they hate sin
