If this religion were a political power it would be part of our "axis of evil." Anti-democratic, misogynistic, and apparently anti-Semitic, it bilks its misguided followers along a path of repression dating to the Nicene Creed, failed to respond to the changes during the Protestant Reformation, and now lives in a world of delusion, its stock of priests deteriorating due to age or removal after sex scandal after sex scandal. Its obsession with sexual behavior borders on the pathological. I've seen many a loved one spend their spiritual and financial energy on this bloated throwback, trying desperately to justify their programming from the earliest days of CCC with their everyday experiences and lives. It's a painful thing to watch.
Of course, Vatican City IS a country, so perhaps sanctions ARE in order.
