Is the Catholic Church the dominant financial force in the world!
I know there are many thoughtful people on the Daily Paul that I will not have to spell out the reason for this post. However, I have come across some information that sheds new light from a different angle on a number of the major topics we discuss here on regular basis, including the Fed and the controlling interests behind the scenes. I am not making a judgment for this could actually be a good thing. I only offer this information for those who think about these issues - draw your own conclusions.
The following quotes are from articles and speeches pertaining to the estimated wealth of the Catholic Church.
1. The Vatican has large investments with the Rothschilds of Britain, France and America, with the Hambros Bank, with the Credit Suisse in London and Zurich. In the United States it has large investments with the Morgan Bank, the Chase-Manhattan Bank, the First National Bank of New York, the Bankers Trust Company, and others. The Vatican has billions of shares in the most powerful international corporations such as Gulf Oil, Shell, General Motors, Bethlehem Steel, General Electric, International Business Machines, T.W.A., etc. At a conservative estimate, these amount to more than 500 million dollars in the U.S.A. alone.
2. The Vatican's treasure of solid gold has been estimated by the United Nations World Magazine to amount to several billion dollars. A large bulk of this is stored in gold ingots with the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank, while banks in England and Switzerland hold the rest. But this is just a small portion of the wealth of the Vatican, which in the U.S. alone, is greater than that of the five wealthiest giant corporations of the country. When to that is added all the real estate, property, stocks and shares abroad, then the staggering accumulation of the wealth of the Catholic church becomes so formidable as to defy any rational assessment.
3. The Catholic church is the biggest financial power, wealth accumulator and property owner in existence. She is a greater possessor of material riches than any other single institution, corporation, bank, giant trust, government or state of the whole globe. The pope, as the visible ruler of this immense amassment of wealth, is consequently the richest individual of the twentieth century. No one can realistically assess how much he is worth in terms of billions of dollars.
Here are two more sources and opinions on the topic.

Note: I'm NOT judging or condemning, but if true I find this to be astounding and new information, at least for me.
This is good....

It is not just the FED here that needs auditing.
The Vatican Bank has never been audited either.
When digging into the history of Europe, you come across the concentration camps of Jasenovac, and digging further from there, it makes many references to all the stolen wealth from war victims being transported to the Vatican.
I forget the name of the American legal eagle who has a court case going against the Vatican, but it is well over 10 years now and being stalled and stalled by the Vatican.
(I was born a Catholic, schooled at Catholic schools with nuns and the whole circus... teaching was all about the Vatican and the religion of course but only what we were supposed to know... not about their wealth, or their other unsavory practices. BTW no longer a member of the RC church - not for the last 40 odd years)
Most Catholics think the church is poor
!
Yes Ralph, you are right
but from what I have learnt over the years, the wealth of the Vatican goes beyond comprehension, and is possibly the wealthiest bank on this planet. I read below a comment as if the Vatican could be a contender to the Zionists. Don't be mistaken, the Zionists are in with the Vatican..
The whole arena is unexplored territory
for me.
it's the jesuits.
it's the black pope.

No
There is a religion in charge but this is not the one.
The Pope and the Cardinals
trapes around in Gold jewelry and adorn challis's and crosses with gold yet millions starve to death every single day.
Most hypocritical indeed.

I went to the high school at
I went to the high school at Jesuit New orleans, and was constantly surrounded by Jesuit priests. we delved deep into the catholic church during my 4 years there. "religion" was one of the classes i took in all 4 years.
The church is immensely powerful. The last pope, john paul 2nd, is highly credited with helping to bring down the soviet system in russia.
The church is extremely powerful, but not as an entity of its own.
The church is an extremely powerful tool with which the "world elite" use to drive their agenda forward.
All the way back into medieval times, when a man wanted the blessing of a pope what did they do? they donated vast sums of money, jewels, and land to the church. why did they need the popes blessing?
think of the millions of catholics around the world who would not recognize a king of the pope would not.
These people are extremely educated men with almost limitless supplies and the great advantage of being "morally correct".
Are they the dominant financial force in the world? its not exactly that centralized, but they definitely have access to fortunes most could only dream about. i wouldnt doubt it if the pope could buy most of africa or south america, and still have more money than many countries' GDP.
What did they teach about the wealth of the church?
?,
the imf, world bank , fed
the imf, world bank , fed reserve bank of england ecb control the worlds finances. the vatican does not control these organizations. #1 cannot be proven . get the head comptroller of the vatican to prove this. where is the proof? #2 several billion dollars? the fed can print 1 trillion dollars in a sec then clean that money through all of its sub banks. #3 the queen of england is the largest land owner in the world. When the fed was founded in 1913 the vatican was arch enemies of the rothschild family and freemasons. i believe that the vatican has been infiltrated and that there is a massive power struggle going on. The bank of england controlled by the rothchild family and the queen is at the top of the pyramid. when this jesuit conspiracy stuff is inspected it just simply does not hold any water.
I'd really have to question your assumption...
that somehow the Queen of England owns more land than the Vatican. That any assessment of Vatican wealth would be below the Trillion (possibly multiple Trillions) status would have to be bogus. $500 Million in corporate ownership in the US is nothing and has to be a typo. If the Number were $500 Billion, I might believe it but would still think it low.
The Catholic Church is the wealthiest entity on earth, with land willed to it on a constant basis from the time of Constantine, to the present. The state of the Church today is nothing like in past years up to the 60's when religion started to wain under the direction of those foundations and Institutes (Tavistock) that have actively worked to change our society and move towards the one world order/religion that is on its way. From the selling of dispensation's, to the receiving of awarded land from the nobility and commoner alaike, to the constant tithing of the faithful for far more than a millennium...they have had their hand in the till and still do.

LOL! Assuming you are referring to our combined National Debt
and claims to our property in default, you are probably right, certainly with regards to American assets!

I think the Catholic church
I think the Catholic church is not first but second to the U.S. corporation. Both of which are accumulators of property. Both are exempt from paying property taxes, but in all fairness it is only the U.S. government that taxes our property, taxes our income and throws us in jail if we don't pay.
The Catholic church does not force anyone to pay them taxes. It is a donation based institution, of course unfortunately there are tools such as moral suasion to get people to donate. If you donate to a church and it meets government approval you get a tax deduction, so in a sense, all churches do tend to be extentions of the government for fear of it. It's not as if my family and friends claim to be a church and get a tax deduction.
Actually the wealth of the Catholic Church could well be used by our movement as an argument for eliminating the income tax. Government should be a donation based institution.

"NEW WORLD ORDER.THE DEVIL IN THE VATICAN!!"
The "NEW WORLD ORDER.THE DEVIL IN THE VATICAN!!" is the title of a 68 part video series on YouTube that explains the Vatican's place in our world government today. The clips are all pretty short, 10 min, and tie the Vatican into all kinds of different happenings around the world.
I've only watched a couple of them myself, but they are interesting each in its own way.

The church USED to be the power center....read history of europe
The men in power hide BEHIND the institutions.
They USE them to help attain their goals.
A discussion of the church, the federal government or a central bank DISTRACTS us from the actual perpetrators.
The church is not the criminal, it is the men manipulating the church who will be in front of a judge.
Auditing the fed will ONLY help humanity if the owners of the fed are exposed.
The men who control the fed also control the church and the governments.
Wealth and organizations are just a front for the evil that uses them.
Is the church powerful?
No.
The men who control the church are powerful.
Expose them.
I grew up in the Boston area. In a town of 20,000 we had two catholic churches, a Catholic prep school and three different seminaries.
I live in another town now. About 20,000...four Catholic churches one Catholic school and one nunnery.
Is the Catholic church big? Yes, sir...is is a tool of the men in power? Yes, sir.
Has it always been a tool?
Yes.
The men in power need such tools to "manage" humanity and move us toward their goals. The fed is just such a tool......close the fed down? No, expose the men who control it.
Expose the men in power and the wealth of the church means nothing.
Expose the owners of the fed and we get our country back.

Ralph,
I'm thinking that, in your Note: at the bottom of your piece, you meant to say
I'm NOT judging or condemning ...
Right?
Thanks V
for reading my mind!
You're welcome, Ralph.
In the interest of clarity for all.
Well, this looks to be
another very large piece of the puzzle! I wonder if they are manipulating the gold market?
"The Catholic Church, therefore, once all her assets have been put together, is the most formidable stockbroker in the world. The 'Wall Street Journal' said that the Vatican's financial deals in the U.S. alone were so big that very often it sold or bought gold in lots of a million or more dollars at one time."
