Vatican needs completely busted out

From the money laundering to child rape and blood ritual sacrifice, this institution needs to be completely exposed. Then the Vatican library needs to be opened up to the world. The church is sitting on secrets that could liberate humanity. Humanity needs to be liberated from the Vatican church state. That butler was only acting on a moral instinct to do the right thing and in my opinion, the Holy See was not exposed enough. The Vatican needs to be exposed for all their centuries of corruption and debauchery, layer by layer. Nothing less will do. The Vatican is beyond redemption.

Good.

Anything that hurts the church, helps the people.

In other words, he upset the proverbial apple cart, and exposed the underbelly of the beast. He ought to be celebrated as a hero.

I was going to say, they weren't hurt enough in all honesty, that place needs to be flooded by people working for the light, and all the files, video footage as well as security footage, artefacts and so on and so forth should be shown to the world, then they themselves will be put on trial infront of the world, then i will be satisfied that they have answered for their crimes, untill then, i don't give a hootaninnie if the Pope or his papal buddies and the church have been hurt by this almost leaking of information, when the truth comes out, it will most likely shock some people, but i think the vast marjority of people on this planet are not stupid, they will not be shocked at the things that have been done in the name of God!

All i can really truly say to remidy this situation is to pray for those still under Cabal power, that they may see the truth and embrase the light.  It is never too late :D

Lots of love and hugs for you all.
