Glad to hear they have cleaned up their act since their part in the Inquisition and missionary work...
I'm not a believer, despite having read both old and new books and attending Scripture union/Sunday school. but can see how living like Jesus would inspire people.
Trouble is you would struggle to find simple, caring , Christians anywhere spreading a simple message.
Instead , Huge wealth, the incredibly adorned in bejewelled buildings preaching down...promising life ever after!
Maybe convert the Vatican into a home for the poor and homeless. Sell off all those gold and silver ornaments.. . Jesus would approve. and I don't think he would recognise today's Church. Or the Church over the centuries...all those deaths and wars..
