Outwardly the Vatican is an Ally of the United States. Inwardly the United States has been a thorn to the Vatican's quest for global dominance through religion. During the 16th Century the Protestant Reformation exposed many corrupt practices of the Vatican, men such as Martin Luther, John Wycliffe and Jan Hus were just a few who betrayed the Pope. The practice of Indulgences, idol worship and the Pope's so called Infallibility were the main topics. This movement wounded the Vatican. The Protestant movement in the United States still holds many Religious denominations that believe the Vatican is a threat to their Religious Liberties. And Historically the Vatican has not been a friend to protestant ideologies. It is because of these Historic facts that these denominations are able to put up a decent argument against the Vatican. In recent years many of the protestant churches have dropped their hostility against the Catholic Church to work together on political and religious issues such as abortion. There are still many issues concerning the Vatican's workings with the Nazi's during World War two. Evidence has shown the many within the Vatican were working with Hitler, and even towards the end of the war the Vatican was able to hide some of the Nazi war criminal in South America. Some Jewish organisations to this day say that the Vatican holds millions dollars worth of gold and art belonging to the Jews from that era. In the Dictates of the Pope Number 22. it states. " That the Roman church has never erred; nor will it err to all eternity, the Scripture bearing witness" To this day the Vatican still holds this statement to be true. Therefore many still believe the Vatican to still be an enemy to the State and too Religious Freedom as well.
