Pope Says Rich Nations Have "Plundered" Third World As He Polishes His Gold While Whispering "My Precious"

This has got to be one of the great all time laughable moments in Catholic church history.

Rich countries bent on power and profit have mercilessly "plundered and sacked" Africa and other poor regions and exported to them the "cynicism of a world without God," Pope Benedict writes in his first book.

Not only is the Vatican one of the richest places on Earth ... they are walled off to prevent the ruffians from getting in, and they have the world's worst per capita crime rate.

Don't get me wrong ... the Catholic church does a lot of good in the third world, but so do the wealthy nations of the world. Some even do more than the Vatican, but the Pope didn't offer that bit of info.

Maybe the Pope should stop criticizing other wealthy nations for "plundering" the third world while he still allows Catholic missionaries to take monetary donations from poor third world villagers trying to ensure their access to heaven. God doesn't care if you give money to the church Pope ... God doesn't care.
