Christianity is not (and never was) equal to Vatican. Rome historically, was only one of 5 centers of Christianity - four of which were (and still are) in the East (Jerusalem, Antioch, Alexandria, and Constantinople)  Constantinople is no more - replaced by Moscow in 1453. Recent decline of Christianity in the West (mostly - Western Europe) is being accompanied by the religious renaissance in the East (Russia, Poland, Czech, etc) All these conspiracies involving Vatican never include the Orthodox Churches in the East. Imagine Russian Patriarch to be in cahoots with Pope is completely insane.
