Summary

DEEP DIVE - On this episode we talk about the most holy of holies and the headquarters of the Catholic Church, The Vatican. Existing uniquely as a state, a corporation and a person, The Vatican and The Holy See has been surrounded in mystery from the outside world for hundreds of years. We wonder what goes on inside its walls and discuss the known inner workings of Vatican City. We also talk about the Swiss Guard and their killer skill and how difficult it is to get into The Vatican as a citizen. We discuss the Vatican Bank and the weird classifications it has for lending money. We also examine the origins of The Vatican and how it popped into existence in a feudal Italy and how it had links to and was influenced by the Italian Mafia and The Jesuits. And of course we talk about the scandals that surround the Catholic Church and the reactions of the various Popes. So join us for this and loads more on our Christmas episode of TCG and have a great holiday!

0:10.9	That's right, the smallest big player on the global stage and the ordained home of catalysism
0:16.4	and its greater doctrine.
0:18.4	A city state whose unique existence has gone unrivaled in its untroubled dominance and
0:25.6	security.
0:27.3	The true control and civilization exerted by the Catholic Church remains unconfermed
0:31.7	conjecture, but repeated cases of undue influence in national legislation are still apparent

0:38.1	But the power and prestige of the Vatican is undeniable, with visitors from all over the
0:42.6	world flocking their daily to immerse themselves in religious accoutrements and imbue their soul
0:47.5	with the reflected glow of papal power.

0:54.2	Through the global aggressive spread of Christianity, the collection plates of catalysism have
0:58.3	cultivated the crowded coffers and colossal accounts of Vatican City.
1:01.6	But it's through their banking techniques and clandestine connections and contaminated
1:05.6	criminal credit that creates the undocumented and immoral ill-gotten gain that acts
1:09.9	with backbone of control.
1:13.2	But perhaps the darkest and most disturbing dimension of the Vatican's hidden history
1:18.2	are the seemingly endless cases of historic abuse that seem to slowly synchronize from
1:23.0	the severed arteries of the Catholic systems of shameful silence.
