VATICAN CITY, June 5 (Reuters) – Pope Francis sacked the five-man board of the Vatican’s financial watchdog on Thursday – all Italians – in the latest move to break with an old guard associated with a murky past under his predecessor.
The Vatican said the pope named four experts from Switzerland, Singapore, the United States and Italy to replace them on the board of the Financial Information Authority (AIF), the Holy See’s internal regulatory office. The new board includes a woman for the first time.

Wow! Now if he will simply write into their man-made laws that women can be priests, priests can marry, and do away with the belief that contraception is a sin (in an already over-populated world), there may be hope for that Dark ages religion, yet. They have enough wealth to eliminate starvation, globally.

We humans are surely slow to learn from the lessons of history, to let go of the dopamine rewards that come with controlling others and at all costs, and to fully embrace empathy and compassion because it ensures the survival of our species. We’re a rather stupid species if you ask me.

Agreed, and species which act stupidly don’t survive very long.
