Corruption is like
swearing in a world that worships money as a god, Pope Francis
said Thursday. "Corruption is a form of swearing, the language of this Babylon...(that worships) the god of money, of wealth, of exploitation," Francis said during Mass at St Martha's guesthouse, where he lives.
"This Babylon, this worldliness, this regality of the world that seduces the powers-that-be will fall, this civilization will fall...the empire of vanity and pride will fall, as Satan fell," said the pope.
