33. Because the Catholic Church says so

Check the outstanding conflict off interest. The head of the cartel, successfully having convinced much of the world he's a liberal, instead of simply better at marketing won't budge on this none. When one believes that they face eternal tornment for disobedience, perhaps they shouldn't be making binding rulings on issues.

Oh and their more tangible and real gods, fat fisted GOP donors and other scam artists can't wait to exploit this one to the max.
