Vatican Bank being investigated for possible violations of money-laundering regulations.
I just got an E-mail from CNN stating this.

Is anyone else surprised that this is happening, especially since it's being investigated by an Italian institution?

I'm very heartened by it! :) The world is changing. :thumbsup:

2. We live in interesting times
I know that's why I signed up for this particular trip, I get bored easily, but it just keeps coming!

Our whole world seems more like a poorly written movie every day though, maybe I just see things clearer in middle age. I am about half-way thinking we are in some kind of hologram.

3. Could this be the end?
Everything now seems to be like a snowglobe that has been shaken, and shaken, and shaken again.

Imagine the real possibility that this could be the thing that brings Rome to its knees, not the child molestation scandals. After all, tax evasion will get you put into prison here before committing any other crime, right?

I'm thinking good thoughts today for those gentle souls who really live their faith. I am hoping they will realize that the church has little to do with that belief, and the desire to do better that lives in all of us.

IMHO. YMMV.

4. Seriously....

It seems to me that before our governments became corrupt, the Catholic Church was corrupt.

Indeed, it is one of the world's first institutions, and it combines religion, government and BIG business. It's the trifecta of the institutions we feel will crumble before the new can take hold.

This feels really, really, really significant to me today.

Anxiously awaiting how this may unfold. I can envision the Church being charged with crimes under our RICO laws here in the US, and in the process so many more abuses and corruption (within government and business) coming to light.

:thumbsup:

5. I'm with you in reference to those souls.

I've been thinking about them since I posted. May their awakening be gentle, and may they come out of all of this with an even stronger focus on their true connection with All That Is. May they continue to feel the all-encompassing love and light that is true spirituality and freely release all of the dross that has held back humanity since organized religion made slaves of humanity.

6. "May their awakening be gentle..."
AUMN, AUMN, AUMN...

The words of truth in the Bible and other spiritual texts and higher-dimensional documents are shining more and more brightly every day, and someday soon will be unmistakable as Truth. As will that which is not. Those finding their support structure falling away from beneath them need our prayer and love, until the higher path is so revealed.

And with all of the proven psychics, mystics, channels, energy workers, and astrologers bandying about this forum, doesn't everyone already Know and Trust that the positive future is set for those who are in that positive vibration? The energy of 2013+ is already there and it is WONDERFUL. Let the veil fall, let us remember that we are all sparks of the Creator and are all united and equal as such, and equally loved and supported, and that there is indeed a positive path and plan of astonishing beauty, for all who wish to attend to it!

The transition for those not love-based will of course be different to varying degrees...

7. Some souls still have a choice to make, in my opinion. nt

9. I for one am eager and interested in healing all that draws the fearful and negative to me
and to live in joy, which is of course our birthright. It's definitely happening internally but the negatives around me don't care, of course... Peace...may all souls return to the Creator in God's will and way and time..

8. Here's another one that came out today!
Edited on Tue Sep-21-10 04:58 PM by I Have A Dream
Again from CNN: "Two men file suits claiming Atlanta megachurch pastor Bishop Eddie Long sexually abused them and other followers."

:wow:
