We call for the Vatican to be removed as a center of power and influence and for its role to be challenged openly. Too many people see it as an institution built on wealth, control, and image, while claiming the moral authority of faith. That gap between what it presents and what it practices has damaged trust and caused deep harm in communities that expected humility, honesty, and service.

Our Lord and Father stood for purity, humility, and care for others. That is the standard people should expect from any religious institution. Instead, the Vatican has long been associated with power, money, and the protection of its own interests. When an institution presents itself as spiritual but behaves like a financial and political power, it misleads the faithful and weakens belief itself.

We are asking people to reject this hypocrisy and to stand against the Vatican’s influence. Faith should be about truth, humility, and service, not greed, control, or corruption. The undersigned believe the time has come to say clearly that this is not what religion should be.

Down with the Vatican.
