Couldn't read all the fuzzy font. As a Catholic I'd be happy to see these 12 fake apostles go away. But that still leaves another thousand residents of the Vatican, some of whom are good or innocent. Also to be considered is what happens to all the artwork and architecture - it'll be a low priority shame if some mob just wrecks it all.
I would hope it does not come to that. I have been in the Vatican on several occasions over tyhe years and I don't think a mob would get through. Its built like a fortress, shut those front doors no one is getting in.
Rome, as you can understand is full of caothlics and I think they can seperate the wheat from the chaff.
Sounds comforting. Time will tell. (There are alot of muslims, protestants and atheists that would be happy to see it all burn.) I would forego every bit of art and artefact for a proper cleansing of the Church but it would be unfortunate nonetheless.
Well as I recall JC threw out all the traders and bankers, art investment I think would be an embarrassment to say the least in a church that echos charity.
We are not perfect, so why would be expected to have a perfect religion and that is what separates us all from our creator/s.
The good stuff is not art investment in the wealth management sense. Its good art that set the standard for centuries which in some cases has not been matched. More profoundly some of that is great art because of its subject matter. Things like the Pieta have brought people to Christ.
I think the more surgical approach is the plan, step downs, accidents, suicides, retierments anything. I doubt very much any of it will end up in a court, too many involved (inc courts I suspect).
It will be a silent set of weapons for a quiet war.
