The catholic church has been questionable since the dark ages.  I'm not looking to dogpile, but really, the Catholic church put people to death for producing, owning, or just reading the Bible in anything but Latin.  Power and control, so that people couldn't know what the Bible actually says.  Same power and control in action today...sweep the offenses under the rug of papal secrecy.  Im not saying the reformers of ages ago were innocent...as soon as they amassed some power of their own, they turned around and persecuted the anabaptists, killing thousands.  Bottom line is that power corrupts, and corruption festers in secrecy.  The antidote is always light and truth.
