Mother Teresa, the Vatican's Secrets, and the College of Cardinals

• 26:44Mother Teresa's role was essentially hospice care—watching people die comfortably rather than actually saving lives.
• 27:30The Catholic Church claims to be the world's biggest charity, but as a massive enterprise it perpetuates itself rather than being a more dynamic force.
• 28:00The Catholic hierarchy feels militaristic compared to other religions, with an unclear endgame beyond personal glorification.
• 28:27Cardinals build themselves massive villas and get rich while the Vatican keeps secrets about why the previous Pope resigned.
• 29:01The current Pope is the most liberal and progressive the Church has had in a long time, but he still has to hold certain lines.
• 30:09The documentary Maximum Mea Culpa reveals Vatican inner workings, showing which Cardinals excel at fundraising and moving money around.
• 30:38What's in the Vatican archives and the Vatican bank—do they know it's all bullshit, or does someone?
• 31:01The Council of Nicaea decided which gospels would be considered canon, leaving out the Gospel of Thomas and Gnostic Gospels.
• 31:31The excluded gospels show a radically different version of events, directly contradicting the four gospels in the Bible.
• 31:52There's a missing gap between Jesus at age 12 and age 33 when he reappears as the Son of God in the canonical account.
