They were always corrupt
The power of life and death is the power of God
That power was first granted communally by The Church, to the Priests and Nuns.
The Church first built the Colleges, and awarded "The Degrees" that gave them a license to kill.
Consider this, Abraham Lincoln was not killed by the shot to the head, but by The Eldest Doctor who decided to probe the wound repeatedly with a metal rod to "fish out" the bullet. The young doctor, who had most recently finished training cautioned him not to, because of the potential for brain damage and death, but deference to "age" and the invalid perception of "wisdom" overruled the person with better training.
Makes sense that the Vatican is fully behind vaxx and mask mandates.
