It's not the least charm of a theory that it is refutable. The hundred-times-refuted theory of "free will" owes its persistence to this charm alone; some one is always appearing who feels himself strong enough to refute it - Friedrich Nietzsche

Woohoo - well said, that Pope!
He's not wrong. I wonder who that will sit with any American catholics who may have voted Trump?

Typically just tax dodging entities, like our own Destiny example.
Yeah...the doco was interesting, if annoyingly cut into bits.
It really just seems all about money - & power to an extent.
