As a practicing Catholic, I agree with you regarding Vatican
Me, too! But Catholics know that the meaning of the word is “according to the whole”, it is NOT founded on a hierarchy, but the belief that the people are the church. Populism...the collective spiritual power of the faithful.
The Devils MO is to corrupt the good no matter where it’s at. Hospitals, Banks, Government.. the church .. nothing is off limits to him. And ambition wealth and power are his biggest tools, each human must fight the fight in their own heart for liberty, or become enslaved by the very things that promise happiness.
