"We believe this view of Earth as seen from space is a man-made image completely manipulated by those in the business of furthering their own religious agenda. It is just as false as the pictures of the moon landings themselves. Everybody knows that space travel is a ridiculous notion based on scientific theories that are steeped and mired in utter bullshit. The Vatican refuses to believe and accept this image as being anything other than utter bullshit."

The Vatican is the thing that holds the Papacy in place, while at the same time being upheld by the Papacy. Biblically speaking, the Papacy is the anti-Christ. It lifts itself higher than Jesus when nobody should do that. How can you tell? Compare what it has done in the past, and what it does now, with the things that Jesus says. The Papacy doesn't follow the things of Jesus. The Papacy is literally the buddy of the devil who is in the abyss. The Papacy is keeping a throng of people ready for the time when the devil will come back out of the abyss to take over for it.
If the Vatican says it, the opposite is more than likely true.

Joe and his buddy were walking down the sidewalk one day. Everyone they passed on the sidewalk said something like, "Hi Joe," or, "How's it going Joe," or, "What's happening Joe," or, "Long time no see, Joe."
After a while Joe's buddy became a little irritated and said, "What it the world, Joe? Does everybody know you?"
"Yep," Joe answered. "Everybody knows me in the whole world."
"I don't believe it," Joe's buddy responded. "I bet the Pope doesn't know you!"
"Sure the Pope knows me," Joe answered. "We go way back. In fact, we used to sing in the choir together."
"That's impossible," retorted Joe's buddy. "I'll believe it when I see it."
"Well, come to the Vatican with me," Joe said, "And I'll prove it to you." So, the two of them circumvented the TSA and flew to Italy.
Upon being ushered into the Vatican, as soon as the Pope saw Joe, he ran over exclaiming, "Hey, Joe, ol' buddy ol' pal. Long time no see." And he gave Joe a big hug and the customary kiss on each cheek. Joe's buddy couldn't believe it! They went into an inner room and sat and talked for a while.
Some time later the Pope said to Joe, "Joe, I have to go out on the balcony and give a speech to the people. You can come out on the balcony with me if you want, but your buddy will have to go down in the crowd."
At Joe's questing eyes his buddy said, "That's fine. I can go down in the crowd. I wanted to mingle with the people a little anyway, as long as we are here."
A short time later, the Pope and Joe were on the balcony. The Pope was comfortably into his speech. Joe was looking around the crowd to see if he could see his buddy down there. Just as he caught sight of his friend, he saw him fall to the pavement among the people.
"Something happened to my buddy," Joe said to the Pope. "I need to go down and see if he is okay."
A short while later Joe helped his buddy to his feet. "Are you okay?" Joe demanded. "I'm fine, I'm fine," answered his buddy.
"Well, what happened?" Joe asked.
Joe's buddy responded, "Everything was going along fine, until the guy next to me asked, 'Who is that guy with the funny red beanie standing up there next to Joe?'"

Now, this might be a funny story until you figure out who Joe is.
