A number of conspiracy theorists claim that the Vatican is a front for a group of Satanic Cabalists who possess very ancient and very dark occult knowledge. The history of the Vatican isn't the most holy of histories and a thorough reading of history will show the many wars, tortures, coups, assassinations and lies all perpetuated by the Vatican.

The power of the Vatican didn't come through a willful adoption by its adherents, but rather through centuries of bloody conquest that forced people to comply. Once the Vatican gained control over territories they burned all the histories and wrote history in their own favor. The Vatican is known for stunting human growth for centuries through the ignorance of the Dark Ages in European history. There are countless reasons as to why the Vatican is not the holy organization it portrays itself as.
