With a bit more discovery, the Catholic church apoears as the probably biggest corporation today with its unscrupulous desire for power. There are all sorts of people and stuff going on in that organisation: from literal saints (in the past) to rather evil types, from lithurgy to ceremonial magic and dark rituals. But the church is adept at making the illusion of united front. Its biggest secret is perhaps the history it had erased but had kept records of. So I wouldnt take its moral code any more seriously than a corporate policy. The only thing of value in that code is the basic rules like "do to others what you would do to yourself", but these rules werent invented by the church.
