Good Goilly Miss Moilly!

Eric!
Thank you for such a rush of fresh air!

Hierarchical power structures are inevitably corrupt.  They embody the same 
life-force of the Rocket-City:  CORPORATE (supra-human) POWER !

The Vatican is our (Western) longest-standing modern corporation.  It is 
bigger than family.  It is bigger than country.  It might even be bigger 
than history!

Personally, I think it is unalterably corrupt!  Conspiracy is it's name.

Selah,
David Morris
