I cannot believe the audacity of the statement seeing as how neither the Catholic church, nor a Pope in any form existed in the scriptures. No instead the catholic church wasn't formed until the rule of Constantine

*Hey, don't knock it.We have made scads of dough due to our audaciousness. We have accumulated wealth to such a degree that we could,ten times over, buy and sell all the crummy countries populated by a majority of protestants.

[whispering out loud]

Yes, and as we all know, Christ was all about the accumulation of money. If accumulation of wealth is how you measure spiritual success, then I guess Bill Gates, and Donald Trump are two of the most holy men on the planet, and in fact I'm guessing they the Muslim nations are also very Godly, after all the middle east does contain some of the richest nations in the world.
