And those people lead lavish lives funded by the poor, "controlled" masses? Right.

You know that every Catholic church's finances are public record? If I went into my church right now and asked to see their books, they'd let me.

THIS JUST IN: CATHOLICISM TODAY ISN'T THE SAME AS IT WAS 1000 YEARS AGO, OR EVEN 50. It boggles my mind why people even bother to bring up a religion's history to judge it today...

[buzzer noise] Try again, bud. In fact, it's encouraged, as the only way to become truly devout is to question your faith, understand why you believe what you do, and feel secure in it. Really, the most devout people are converts to a religion, since they sincerely believe in it and understand that, as opposed to the people who were reared in the religion and just follow it out of habit. My questioning of my faith is the reason I have such an appreciation for it today.

All of the apocryphal books are in the Old Testament, and were thus written well before Jesus' time.
