[orthodoxymoron]

It seems that Roman Catholicism is more of an ancient Babylonian/Egyptian/Roman/Jewish phenomenon than it is a product of the Life and Teachings of Jesus Christ. Something that ancient, large, and powerful doesn't stop on a dime, or change every century, or so. I sometimes think the Pope is a prisoner in his own palace. I don't envy him. There is an incredible amount of momentum. I would love to see a new Roman Catholic Church which embraces the Teachings of Jesus and the U.S. Constitution...and puts them into practice from the top down...but it would take a series of genuine miracles of Biblical proportions to accomplish this. But I often think that we will not have peace on earth until this occurs. I sometimes think that the best friends and the worst enemies of the human race exist within this organization. The three City-States of Washington D.C., City of London, and Vatican City should be studied exhaustively...and reforms instituted with all deliberate speed. Unfortunately, this would probably be the Battle of Armageddon. Look closely at the art, architecture, and documents connected with these three centers of power in our world.
