The Vatican was built on the foundations of evil.
Excerpt from Wikipedia - The Lateran Treaty
"The Lateran Treaty is one of the Lateran Pacts of 1929 or Lateran Accords, three agreements made in 1929 between the Kingdom of Italy and the Holy
See, ratified June 7, 1929, ending the "Roman Question".
They consisted of three documents:
A political treaty recognizing the full sovereignty of the Holy See in the State of Vatican City, which was thereby established.
A concordat regulating the position of the Catholic Church and the Catholic religion in the Italian state.
A financial convention agreed on as a definitive settlement of the claims of the Holy See following the losses of its territories and property."
All the priceless historical artifacts they have locked up is disgusting.

"Remember when the pope came to the United States? How he chided us for not showing mercy? That we should give away what we have to the poor? We are
such a wealthy nation. And then remember the great earthquake that took place in 1980 over in Italy? I remember when the pope came in to this ruined
area, walked up to the bedside of some poor little wounded Italian man and the pope so benevolently laid his hand on his head and made the sign of the
cross, blessed the man and walked off.
And the newscasters were telling of the devastation. And then we cut back to the United States and Senator Kennedy looked at the camera with sorrowful
eyes and said, "Oh, we Americans, out of mercy we should send at least 45 million dollars to this devastated village so we can reconstruct it."
Remember that? Now let me read something out of THE VATICAN BILLIONS by Avro Manhattan, and I think you're going to get as mad as I am right now. I
want to bring to your attention the fact that this information was published 10 years ago, and the figures are probably even more startling today.
"The Vatican has large investments with the Rothschilds of Britain, France and America, with the Hambros Bank, with the Credit Suisse in London
and Zurich. In the United States it has large investments with the Morgan Bank, the Chase-Manhattan Bank, the First National Bank of New York, the
Bankers Trust Company, and others. The Vatican has billions of shares in the most powerful international corporations such as Gulf Oil, Shell, General
Motors, Bethlehem Steel, General Electric, International Business Machines, T.W.A., etc. At a conservative estimate, these amount to more than 500
million dollars in the U.S.A. alone.
"In a statement published in connection with a bond prospectus, the Boston archdiocese listed its assets at Six Hundred and Thirty-five Million
($635,891,004), which is 9.9 times its liabilities. This leaves a net worth of Five Hundred and Seventy-one million dollars ($571,704,953). It is not
difficult to discover the truly astonishing wealth of the church, once we add the riches of the twenty-eight archdioceses and 122 dioceses of the
U.S.A., some of which are even wealthier than that of Boston."
I am pretty sure that god would want to use all that money for the good of mankind but obviously the holy see is contempt with riding the stock
market.
