Is theocracy limited or unlimited government?

Theocracy is an UNLIMITED form of government because the theocrat is not constrained by the rule of law. The theocrat is perfectly capable of committing crimes that are prohibited by law by a process of self-exculpation. There is the counter-argument that theocracy is a limited form of government because the theocrat is held to account by divinities or by religious doctrine (even though he is unaccountable to the people). This is fatuous because theocrats are often able to redefine religious doctrines or parrot new words for the divinities that will exculpate them of what should be a crime.
