The Catholic Church has been like that for the past 500 years. I’ve studied European history, and how the Catholic Church has been dabbling in politics (and fomenting more than a few wars, and Indigenous genocides) since it came into power…while keeping its mouth shut about the many atrocities done in its name, or for monetary reasons, like enslavement of Black and Brown people throughout the Americas. Catholic Church has never been as good as it claimed to be and this mythology about the “goodness” of that institution needs to be questioned!
