I think by definition we /have/ to limit a given `belief-system' to a
single meme-complex, but that introduces complexity when talking about
Catholicism which may involve multiple belief-systems itself (trinity vs
whatnot). I think the problem may be that `belief system' itself is
scalable.
Belief-system in the broadest sense would encompass all beliefs held by
a person and be indistinguishable from memesphere but could also be
applied at a lower scale, while memesphere /only/ refers to the
totality.
