Doesn't LUXURIOUS Vatican contradict with HUMBLE Jesus?
I mean, what the heck?! Gold, Wealth, Power, Rich Architecture, Luxurious Domes, white, black and Uniforms, stupid fuschia caps, and kitchen-like head wear... What the hell? Why don't they just live in huts, wear jeans and give all their wealth to the poor? What a perverted institution, the church is. I hope all popes phuck themselves. No rich man can enter heaven. And certainly not the POPE!

"Then Jesus spoke to the crowds and to his disciples, saying: “The scribes and the Pharisees have seated themselves in the seat of Moses. Therefore all the things they tell YOU, do and observe, but do not do according to their deeds, for they say but do not perform. They bind up heavy loads and put them upon the shoulders of men, but they themselves are not willing to budge them with their finger. All the works they do they do to be viewed by men; for they broaden the [scripture-containing] cases that they wear as safeguards, and enlarge the fringes [of their garments]. 6 They like the most prominent place at evening meals and the front seats in the synagogues, and the greetings in the marketplaces and to be called Rabbi by men. But YOU, do not YOU be called Rabbi, for one is YOUR teacher, whereas all YOU are brothers. Moreover, do not call anyone YOUR father on earth, for one is YOUR Father, the heavenly One. Neither be called ‘leaders,’ for YOUR Leader is one, the Christ. But the greatest one among YOU must be YOUR minister. Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.

Yes, luxurious really does contradict what the Bible says. I quoted the Bible once and this guy emailes me about how him and the pope both agree on his point of view so I must be off........lol.....I wrote back, don't write me again, but I'm not Catholic......... That is when I stopped accepting emails from other users of Yahoo. Yes, the extravagance is ridiculous, they could feed Africa for a year if they just ate regular meals, but hey, I'm not Catholic, so I won't judge what they do......Whatever they do is ok, as long as I don't get the emails.......lol :-)

Why stop there? Look at the Mormon Tabernacle, or the Crystal Cathedral, or any of the non-sectarian churches. BTW, the Pope doesn't "own" the Vatican, he just lives there. All religions are corrupt because they are run by men, men who want to control other men, using whatever means necessary, their words, God's words, whatever.

yes it does. if you actually read the bible and understand what its saying you'll know the exact role of the churches, save for a small group of true cristians, which shall remain unnamed. remember the prophecy of the beast and the harlot? how the nations turned against the harlot and consumed her flesy parts? guess who the harlot is. the so called "christian" churches that contradict every word they profess. they promote peace and bless wars. they denounce fornication and their priests are pedophiles and fags. ill let you draw the conclusions. i would be suprised that more people didnt know this, but in the scriptures it does say that the devil has stopped up the ears of the nations to truth. makes a load of sense.

a hand tirades such as this make you worthy of the kingdom........to whom is the judgement?......ok the art etc in the vatican is impressive,very beautiful etc. but it doesn't belong to the pope,the vatican despite its splendour isn't in wealth at all. the church doesn't believe it can sell the art or other artefacts as they are peoples renderings of the glory of god and therefore must be preserved for future generations, it isn't up for sale,this doesn't make the vatican any richer,if anything they are on a gold mine but because of moral beliefs have not sold out to the pressures of society. the vatican and catholic church is the leading missionary foundation,the founder of institutions such as hospitals and all other charitable missions and deeds. the pope is the succesor of st peter whom jesus entrusted power. from the form of your question(or statement) i doubt this has swayed you in any way,but for the other people reading through and if you are interested these sites may help www.scripturecatholic.com www.ewtn.com www.catholiceducation.org more importantly the bible that the catholic church gave to us. not the other way around. locating the writings of the early church fathers would also help. "no rich man can enter heaven" look at some pastors from non catholic churches ....do you question them. i suggest you try reading impartial sources before you get so upset about lies.

why do people always confuse religion with Jesus and the bible churches are big powerful organizations that look after there greedy self interests and have showy displays for goodness sakes they even have crosses and statues .the bible clearly states not to have idols. Jesus teaches love and humility and to follow the bibles teaching so the answer to your question there is a contradiction
