Which political entities are more corrupt? The USA,Russia,China or the Catholic Church?

Answer 1

The Catholic Church is primarily a spiritual body. But she is also a moral teacher.

When you look at the 1.1 billion believers worshiping in over 200,000 parishes worldwide you can see that the Catholic Church is a spiritual entity.

However the Church is also a moral teacher and has been teaching the world what it believes God thinks is right and wrong for almost 2,000 years.

The Church looks to protect human dignity and human rights and does not for look for political power. Church leaders are barred from political office by Church law (not civil law).

Jesus said, "Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you." (Matthew 28:18-20)

The Catholic Church has been teaching world governments what it believes is right and wrong since the ancient Romans stopped persecuting it and long before anyone heard of the freedom of speech.

The Catholic Church protested about the blood sports in the Roman Colosseum and they were stopped.

The Catholic Church supported the Polish Solidarity movement and the Soviet Union fell apart.

I don't think the Church is going to (or should) stop teaching the world governments what is right or wrong now.

Remember the Catholic Church proposes. It does not impose.

With love in Christ.

Answer 3

Is thata trick question?

Who has killed more people than USA, Russia, China put together?

Who founded the international slave trade?

Who remains the wealthiest entity in the world but hides its wealth and actively works against real change in the world beyond "band aid" measures?

For over 14 centuries, the Vatican was the undisputed wealthest single economic entity in the world.

The problem is that the Catholic Church hides its wealth behind tens of thousands of front companies, blind trusts, off shore accounts and other financial loopholes to both avoid tax and the revelation of its wealth.

Globally, the wealth of the Catholic Church is estimated to be in excess of $3,000 Billion.
See:
http://one-faith-of-god.org/final_testament/end_of_darkness/truth/truth_0030.htm

The Vatican is by far the largest holder of land titles for any organisation or government in the world with visible title to around US $316 Billion of property (churches, schools, hospitals etc) and around US $2,623 Billion of investment property hidden in an extremely complex networks of hundreds of thousands of trusts and front companies.

The current market property value of Vatican City, in the heart of Rome alone is worth between US $1 Billion and $3 Billion. This excludes the value of the priceless artworks and valuables stored within its walls.

The most valuable property holdings of the Catholic Church by nation is the United States with around $50 Billion in visible property holdings and around $507 Billion in hidden property holdings through a massively complex network of front companies and trusts.

While we may never know the true and staggering wealth of the church, two facts are certain: (1) The Catholic Church steadfastly refuses to be an open book to its global wealth and (2) has not shown the slightest interest in using its massive wealth to solve worl poverty and massive problems once and for all.

Answer 6

The Catholic Church, the unique and genuine Christian Church, won't be able to become corrupt, for it on my own possesses a divine promise that the gates of hell will on no account be triumphant against it. The bible is a made of the traditions of the church. The church is on no account subservient to the bible. No pope has ever defined something this is in any way opposite to genuine scripture ... in basic terms issues opposite to fake protestant custom. Jesus commanded the apostles to coach and to baptise. He on no account gave them a bible with which to do it, or exact that any one ever use a bible. Jesus on no account reported something approximately it being symbolic. The Eucharist is in basic terms symbolic for protestants, who abandoned the genuine physique and blood of Jesus Christ, while they abandoned the genuine Church. enable me first surprising some misunderstandings that some people right here are transforming into from their sorry public college and liberal college "historic previous" textbooks. Indulgences are no longer a corrupt coaching. The Church has taught from the apostolic situations, and does, that the granting of indulgence is the two biblical and advantageous and nicely in the potential granted to the Church with the help of Christ. The abuse or corruption of this coaching is what choose fixing in the time of the Medieval situations. people have been informed they could purchase places in Heaven for his or her significant different and young ones, which isn't genuine and that's a perversion of the doctrine of indulgences. They unfold coaching built universities, and defended areas of Europe from the Muslim invasion. a minimum of a number of the Crusades have been mandatory. Christendom became a countless situations on the verge of being overrun with the help of infidels bent on conversion with the help of the sword. Heretics had additionally seized administration of places holy to Jews and Christians. the explanation at the back of and the information surrounding the Inquisition have been falsely unfold with the help of revisionist historians. "decide no longer much less you be judged." "he's devoid of sin solid the 1st stone" "Love one yet another as I even have enjoyed you" Does any of those expenses mean something to you?
