I see this song about the Cathaholic Church, particularly in light of the molestation scandals of the past couple of decdes. I can't find a historic reference to "sinister rouge", but agree with Latchkey Kid that is is probably a refefence to the red robes of the cardinals.
"The modern world rejects your hand" is an allusion to the Michelangelo painting where God's hand touches Adam's. Most in the modern world, particulary educated people like Dr. Graffin, find traditional religions superfluous. This is consistent with Greg's Ph.D. dissertation and the book he's writing.
