"Not as easy as it used to be"
Henry Jones Jr., 4
The Church was estabilished by Jesus, but today very little of that inspiration is alive. Here in Italy Vatican is a strong political actor who doesn't respect our society rules. They have rights over thousands of buildings outside its enclave, but don't pay taxes, they exchange support for political candidates for influence over high-profile business ventures, like getting millions of euros for restoration of buildings with the promise (never fullfilled) to make them (and the wonders inside) available for tourism and study, or building edifices without the permits. They evicted hundreds of families (including elderly and poors) in Rome only to collect higher rents, including a disabled woman who later had her belongings impounded for past rent dues. Their radio station is one of the largest radio facilities, and is able to broadcast to the entire world, but in the area where the antennas are located there's a 700% chance of deaths from tumors and leukemia in childred, and they did nothing since the link between the antennas and the diseases increase has been found. Not to mention the abuse scandals all over the world.
We're probably going off topic here, it's a very complex topic that requires another thread.
