I cannot speak to the Catholic church, but I know a lot of people who are comforted by the existence of God. Some people just cannot handle the thought that life is meaningless.

This is where we might disagree, but the problem occurs when people create positions of power, and then someone warps that power for their benefit.

This happens in secular areas as well but in different ways. It is a fairly well known fact that psycopaths seek positions of power, CEO, lawyers, Cops, pastors, or any position of power that holds sway over others.

The realistic solution to this is that the general population gets smarter to detect and then avoid people like this. You might seen that video of that pastor with 760 million net worth with a private jet. Any person who continues to give to that church is deluding themselves that money helps others. It is just a lot more visible when Pastors go bad then say a more private "job" or "position of power". A regular person is far removed from a CEO or lawyer, usually.

We cannot get rid of these positions or jobs, but we as a society have to hold others accountable for their actions.

Lmao, "it's cool this time guys, there was no waste."

Imagine the nerve of posting record profits and having to clean what seems to be one of these up every week, replacing the goods on there as well. Absolutely nuts how much they are exploiting workers for profits to be able to afford that shit this often.
