Ed1941: I've always said it! Roman Catholicism is a cult. How in tarnation can a church justify a bank, it's own country, it's legal staff and on and on and still claim to be God directed.
I suppose they haven't read the scripture that says: "It will be easier for a camel to pass through an eye of a needle than for a rich man to go to heaven"!! That scripture was written for people and religions like this. Not for a rich person that lives a honest and holy life!
Ed, does not the Bible teach that even God has a staff of different ranks around his throne? Seraphim and Cherubim and all that, each with different administrative or physical tasks to perform.

peachmelba: Vatican has money coming out of the toilet,
Jesus, the founder of Christianity, was the poorest of the poor.
Roman Catholicism, which claims to be His church, is the richest of the rich, the wealthiest institution on earth. How come, that such an institution, ruling in the name of this same itinerant preacher, whose want was such that he had not even a pillow upon which to rest his head, is now so top-heavy with riches that she can rival - indeed, that she can put to shame - the combined might of the most redoubtable financial trusts, of the most potent industrial super-giants, and of the most prosperous global corporation of the world?

Bspoken4: I don't suppose one can get an interest free loan from the Vatican...?
A loan? Sure we'll make you a loan. Interest free? You got any collateral? Meet me at the crossroads and we'll draw up a little contract. What do you think we are, a charity?
