City State Vatican


It is the time now, we hear a lot about the new  would be Pope and the election. People waiting for the white smoke outside in Peters Square again.  

Certain facts make me just think that these kind of things are in a way very crude and the system takes us to a time before Jesus.

Pope is to be the head of the state of the Vatican City, a city state (not too many) existing in the world map. Yes it is like the old Greece city states where the democracy made the first coming. They themselves have changed that system of monarchy at the time and democracy was established. But the Vatican still continues to be the only elected monarchy in Europe and the almost 800 people in the city state have no voice and right to elect their leader.

Their Monarch would be elected by some people of religious importance from all over the world and the leader would be someone from outside the state. Even though UNO and EU and also the ‘World Police’ USA try their best to install democracy all over the world, they conveniently close their eyes in from of this system.

As we all know that the election of the pope is not a mystery or based on a revelation from God, and the mystery may be the way he is elected, by whom he is elected, and for what he is elected and for whom he is elected. Catholic religion hijacked the Vatican state and the members of the state have to oblige with the election process.

Women have no right. Even the citizens are excluded by the system. No right to protest and no freedom of expression and no right for a free and fair election. Those who are subjected to law are denied the right to form the law.

It is time to have a separate democratic government for the people and to introduce the system of democracy, or even better a direct democracy (taking into consideration the small number of population). Let the religious head be the head of the church and not of the state.

At the end I always think: Did Jesus mean this or did church want that so?
