The Roman Catholic Church is one of the wealthiest organizations on Earth. I've heard that it has one of the most valuable pornographic art collections in the world hidden away in secret vaults, featuring paintings from all of the world's great master painters from over the centuries. I find it ironic that a religious organization owns so much real estate as it ministers to some of the poorest people on the planet. -RKO- 07/15/07

2000 years of virtual domination of the Christian faith in Western Europe, and the political ability for the majority of that time to bleed those countries dry. What do YOU think?
