Shit like this is a LARGE part of why I left the Catholic faith in my early teens.  I was just disgusted with how the church as an organization worked, and I know many Catholics themselves that feel that way too.

I think by making the Catholic Church more democratic could benefit it heavily. It's way too large to manage by such a small number of people.

The Vatican itself just needs to be fuckin ousted.  No organization should have such scope, reach, and fucking power.  Not to mention ludicrous amounts of hidden, potentially fucking stolen, riches along with god knows how many never-before-seen, priceless, historic artifacts they have hidden away in their god damned vaults where only, like, a dozen people can ever see em.

No one should have that much power, control that many people, or be allowed to horde that much history.

Most of the crusades wealth went to not Rome, but Secular states like Venice. Rome gained most of its wealth during the 100% corrupt papacies of 1400s-1600s.

No, but I figured at least part of the money they gathered was gathered through legitimate channels, and not just through the senseless slaughter of millions of people.
