The Vatican has been dirty since its inception. It's never been a champion of Christianity. Becoming a religion was simply a strategy for controlling the truth that was spoken by other religious orders. It also helped wage war and maraude and loot, and also slaughter orders that held onto Christ's words.

Amoralmen.
I can't find the quote but some great man once said of the Catholic Church - "For men who speak of giving up materialistic things, they seem oddly preoccupied with collecting and amassing wealth"

It has dawned on me too. All those gold chalices, hand embroidered vestments, beautiful stain glass. Think of what all that would buy for the refugees Francis is always crying about. Wastefulness in grand proportions. I remember the ad campaign to make us think he was frugal and a man of the vow of poverty when he drove around in his old car. What a joke.
