Vatican City

"What makes the Vatican the headquarters of Satanists?"

Conspiracy theorists claim that this centre of Catholicism has been infiltrated by Satanists. David Icke, for example, describes the Catholic Church as a front for a millennia-old Babylonian cult that involves human sacrifice and incest. Others point out that child abuse has been systematic in the Catholic Church for decades. By covering up cases of abuse, the Church would not only tolerate pedophilia but encourage it. How? When priests are suspected of molestation, they are simply transferred to new locations, allowing them to continue. Therefore, evil reigns in the Vatican: ‘The fish rots from the head!’ However, experts agree that the child abuse epidemic is rooted in structural issues rather than Satanism.
