Given what we know of the Catholic hierarchy - lies, corruption, molestation, vast treasure....
We know all these things for a fact - BUT - removing those responsible for the lies, corruption and molestation, that simply leaves vast treasure....
the bible tells us that the "church" in accepting and / or acquiring wealth, must use and distribute it as needed.
what are your thoughts on this?
Peace to all, and thank you for your answers

Hello Adam: thank you for your answer and I didn't give you the thumbs down.
However all of what is stated is well documented in varying degrees.
Even under the remote chance that "lies, corruption and molestation" (which probably applies to all religions in some fashion) are incorrect, that still doesn't address the question of wealth. The Roman Catholic Church is vastly wealthy. Most is in storage.
Thank you for participating.

If by "Catholicism" you mean the Roman Catholic Church? Then yes.
Please be aware that "catholic" means "general" or "universal."
In which case, no, the Vatican does not represent the universal church, The Body of Christ.

The Vatican represents Catholicism, Catholicism represents satan, satan represents evil, evil represents sin, sin represents separation from God...

I think it is a perfect representative of unbiblical Catholicism.
