a collection of buildings in the centre of Rome, ruled by a gaggle of archaic and secretive clergy, and which in its daily workings corresponds in no way to any principles of democratic, gender-equal or transparent practice, which has no concept of accountability or freedom of speech, should be allowed to have the influence it has - should, indeed, be allowed to exist at all.
In recent years, under Ratzinger, and for years under his predecessor Karol Wojtyla, this overrated medieval entity has been allowed to play a role in formulating UN policy on matters of major import, notably birth control and use of condoms; it has also, in league with a peculiar and sexually repressive coalition of states (including the United States, Iran, Saudi Arabia and Qatar) promoted policies that, if carried through, will lead to the unnecessary deaths of millions of people. For those looking for such an entity, this is indeed an "axis of evil".

No, I don't think the Vatican should be eradicated. I believe in freedom of religion. I was raised a Catholic and I know the Catholic Church to be a corrupt and evil organization. The recent scandals reveal the Catholic Church to be run by an all male homosexual priesthood which virtually institutionalized pedophilia. I wouldn't forcibly eradicate the Vatican but I'd like to see people walk away from it, stop supporting it and let it die a natural death.

The Vatican is a sovereign nation. You would have to go to war to destroy it.

what you don`t seem to realize is that the Vatican is and alway`s has been a force for world peace and without it`s mediation during the past a lot more local wars would have taken place.

No I am not Catholic but it seems to me as if the Pope does a fairly good job and the people love him

Hitler advocated exactly the same thing and look where it got him.
Give it a try and see what happens.
