Is it time for the US military to take over the Vatican?

Question

Karl Marx, who famously described religion as “the opium of the people”, has joined Galileo, Charles Darwin and Oscar Wilde on a growing list of historical figures to have undergone an unlikely reappraisal by the Roman Catholic Church.

L’Osservatore Romano, the Vatican newspaper, said yesterday that Marx’s early critiques of capitalism had highlighted the “social alienation” felt by the “large part of humanity” that remained excluded, even now, from economic and political decision-making.

Georg Sans, a German-born professor of the history of contemporary philosophy at the pontifical Gregorian University, wrote in an article that Marx’s work remained especially relevant today as mankind was seeking “a new harmony” between its needs and the natural environment. He also said that Marx’s theories may help to explain the enduring issue of income inequality within capitalist societies.

Answer 5

Religion has changed many, many lives for the better.

US Military should take over nothing. We have seen what happens when we invade countries. If you're unaware, then look at our recent history.

Besides, the Vatican, like you and me, are entitled to their opinions and beliefs. We cannot shoot and bomb everyone in the world who disagrees with us.

And there is a HUGE difference in incomes. Vatican makes a valid point.

Answer 6

Hell yes! Dozens of billions of military dollars and we're not doing crap with it! Let's CONQUER THE WORLD!!!!

Answer 7

I am not sure what country you are from but the United States is built on the premise of free speech and freedom of religion. I don't think that sending in the Marines to take over the Vatican would go over to well in the world today. Not to many allies on that one.

Good luck in finding some satisfaction!
