...for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.
Revelation 18:23
From 2017:
"His Holiness Pope Francis extended a firm but gentle thumb from 
his pristine white garment while revealing the soon-to-be-released ICO for the Vatican’s first cryptocurrency offering, ‘SoulCoin’.
The coin, described by Vatican officials as a “scalable, high-availability and high-throughput” protocol, will offer users an opportunity to interact with the church in a “modern way that has never before been possible.”
“Imagine,” said Cardinal Angelo Becciu, “instead of a collection 
plate, a QR code is passed around the pews while the people scan their offerings with their smartphones. Imagine instead of being tasked with Hail Mary’s at the end of confession you could settle-up instantly with a screen-swipe. This is just a small glimpse of the miraculous future with SoulCoin.”
Cardinal Becciu added that other use-cases were presently being discussed and prayed upon by The Vatican, one possibility being the exciting but controversial re-emergence of indulgences, this time in a digital, blockchain-based form."
