“HA! “The Camp of the Saints” predicted this..... on the same page that it also predicted U2 and Bono (without naming them, just their actions) ... four years before the band even formed.

I thought the same thing. The guy that wrote that book must have a crystal ball or something. The crazy part is that it really didn’t have anything to do directly with the theme of the book.

No problem. You’re right.
Christian persecution continues at terrible levels.
Maybe if their priests hadn’t done awful things with minors, they’d have more money to help the poor.
I agree. I have heard the wealth of those works is unimaginable. Why should the Church horde such wealth?
Yeah, I realize that.
I was primarily referring to the the plot in “Camp of The Saints”; and Pope Frankie’s seeming preference for Muslims and Godless Communists at the expense of his own ‘flock’.
I’m fully cognizant that there are many millions of devout Catholics in Mexico and points south, and even a lot of good Catholics even in ‘Darkest Africa’.
The Vatican Museum is open to the public and is full of priceless art objects. The Vatican uses the revenue from entrance fees which is a considerable amount of money. Unless things that are not on display are the subjects of scholarly research, I think that they should be sold.
I think society will get along just fine....maybe better in some cases. I see Roman Catholic voting patterns that support very liberal candidates as an example.

Agreed.
