It is obvious that the hierarchy of the Catholic Church cannot believe in their own teachings, such as heaven and hell, and what makes you go to one and not the other. Or what Jesus said about the rich passing through the eye of a needle. Or his observation that to get to paradise you should give away all you have and follow me. 
It is rather astounding how obvious the greed, corruption and sex abuse cover ups permeates  the church and yet the people still go to church and make their donations. The ultimate brainwashing.
