I think the Vatican is really worried about diversion of the money stream away from them and to unauthorized competition.

"...everything happens in function of money: Pilgrimages, lodging houses, sale of trinkets" - doesn't this also apply to the Vatican? They even have their own bank and state. Thanks Maria for an interesting article.

"Today, the seers own smart houses with security gates and tennis courts and expensive cars. One is married to a former U.S. beauty queen."

I hope they are spreading the wealth, or they well have hell to pay. Bad karma to deceive any one for a buck.

Catholic charities are one of the strongest charity programs that helps many through out the world.
