Summary: With probably trillions in gold, Pope Francis has a good idea about sharing the wealth. Would he be willing to set a good example and say, “Follow me”?

If you Google “gold to the Vatican,” the first page of 7,080,000 results has numerous links to $170 million in gold from Nazi Germany that included gold from the teeth of Jewish people gassed to death.
There are also 55,000 results for “gold to the Vatican” on YouTube with some of the same points below.

On the 2nd page of “gold to the Vatican” is a link to an article re the Philippines as the “wealthiest nation on earth” and an explanation of “why the Diaz Last Will allotted 15% or around 90,000 metric tons of gold to the Vatican.” This is just the tip of the iceberg.

International Monetary Fund Whisteblower Karen Hudes says some of our tax dollars go to the UK by treaty and then to the Vatican Bank, raising huge questions--How can this be??. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hgA9j-4dB0&feature=em-uploademail (@7:30 minutes)

New World gold acquisition may have started with Cortez and the conquest of the Aztecs. I have seen cathedrals in Latin America with much gold. And it confirms the Bible's reference to a woman in Revelation 17 that some Protestants interpret as the Vatican. She's described as involved with kings and politics, arrayed in purple and scarlet and decked with gold, precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand, Rev 17:2,4. Sounds like weatlth, and sitting on seven hills [Rome], Rev 17:9,

So why would the pope ask the only historically Protestant nation to help when he's had the resources of Inter-America and South America at his command for centuries?

How does the pope explain their poverty when Catholicism has dominated them? In the early 1960's I spent a summer in Colombia and Venezuela when a third of the people couldn't read or write –a sharp contrast to men like Jefferson, Madison, Adams and Lincoln who had no benefit of our great public schools of today. Maybe they were (God forbid) homeschooled!

Shouldn't we start asking questions before we jump into a socialist pot to share what we have with everyone else? Maybe the first question would be how much wealth does the Vatican have? Can we inspect it like we would like to inspect Iran's nuclear developments?

Catholic means universal, and we have a congress that is catholic—not Roman Catholic, but (little c) catholic--universal that wants to go along to get along and so very few with the guts to stand for what's right, even at the risk of personal loss.

And maybe that explains how the Supreme Court works with a majority of Catholic justices favoring Obamacare that will surely rui
America, if same sex marriage doesn't do it first with their approval. Is Protestantism dead? If we don't speak out now, we must forever hold our peace. Freedom of press is nearly gone, but 7,080,000 results for “gold to the Vatican” deserves a bigger picture of how we got here from the Catholic World--

"There is, ere long, to be a state religion in this country, and that state religion is to be the Roman Catholic."
1st. The Roman Catholic is to wield his vote for the purpose of securing Catholic ascendancy in this country.
2nd. All legislation must be governed by the will of God, unerringly indicated by the pope.
3rd. EDUCATION must be controlled by Catholic Authorities, and under education the opinions of the individual and the utterances of the press are included, and many opinions are to be forbidden by the secular arm, under the authority of the Church, even to war and bloodshed." -Father Hecker, Catholic World, July 1870.

Our minds are filled with the good and bad memories that we have experienced in our lives. Some of our memories can make us feel warm and loved, while some can make us feel lonely, unloved, and resentful. Nevertheless, we all have to deal with our past.
