The result shows that there are 15 data found, divided in 2 scenarios of white crime. The first scenario is Vatican's effort to eliminate pagan religions This scenario describes how Vatican Church was manipulating people to believe that pagans are evil, by degrading and shifting meaning of pagan symbols.
