Vatican Ship SinksJuly 25, 2000 The Great St. Patrick would not have lasted 1 day in the Roman corporation. When people tried to give him gold he refused to take it....Here is a small excerpt from his Confession which tells us of his attitude toward gold or filthy lucre:
To put in modern vernacular: "St. Patrick never passed the plate." On the other hand the Vatican has gleaned the riches of South America. Like the Biblical plague of locusts in Egypt . . . they left nothing in their wake. Millions of dollars in gold and silver were stolen from the Mexicans and sent to the Vatican via Spain. This money was used by the Jesuits to finance mercenaries to fight the Reformation. If the U.S. had not annexed California, all the gold in that State would have ended up in the Vatican's coffers. This is main reason why the Popes want their own State. With their own State, they don't have to worry about Customs and sharing any of the loot with the poor or the lawful Italian Government.
