I see. You are certainly right to put your finger on the two prongs, I am less concerned about the wealth - that seems to bring its own misery upon those that live for it.

The power on the other hand - - in what entity do you see the anti-chirst arising from? The immoral power brokers in the Vatican? The Elite that have always sought to control church affairs from the outside? A single person, set deep inside the Vatican who will rise up b/c of the powergrab? Francis I himself?

I hate to monopolize your time, I just am fascinated with your answers, this is glp at its best, members teaching members. If you are tired or something, I understand - - I just love learning outside the normal channels and hearing other's insights is invigorating.

Peace, and thanks ahead of time for any more input you might have.
