The Holy Grail Controlling Human Life on the Planet

The world has been the Church’s petri dish. Mankind the bacteria swirling on the petri 
dish. And the Pope and his Cardinals the scientists who have punished and praised, 
prodded and forced, enchanted and frightened, nurtured and poisoned the bacteria to 
forge order out of chaos and to ensure that the bacteria thrives from one generation to the 
next and that it reaches a state of equilibrium within society to mirror the state of 
equilibrium God keeps in nature.

The Pope is the only authority to answer to no other earthly authority. His task is to worry 
about the equilibrium in the petri dish and to accomplish this divine task, this balancing 
act of global proportions, he orchestrates and delegates the myriad arms of the Church, 
both secular and sacred. Governments are set up to run nations. Only the Vatican is set 
up to run mankind.
The world has yet to create a secular authority that can replace the Vatican, for the simple 
reason that a secular authority would have to make the same decisions of life and death 
over the 7 billion souls that the Vatican now makes and the world is uncertain that any 
other organization, especially a secular one, could do the job more compassionately and 
gracefully than the Vatican.
Secular governments and private corporations do the actual poisoning of their fellow men 
but it is the Pope who gives them absolution for their sins, which is why all heads of state 
come to the Vatican and return to the Vatican again and again to lighten the burden of 
their consciences.
Only we, the people, can free ourselves from the benevolent tyranny of the Church without 
destroying each other. We can do this simply by living in the image of God and preserving
