That is the old “pilgrim church” delusion beloved of modernists, that the Catholic Church can shed its physical assets and its history and become something new and gleaming that the world loves for the sincerity of poverty. At its best, the magnificence and pageantry of the Vatican and the Papacy provide a stage that draws the attention of the world to Christ and His life and message.
