Hoi,
The Catholic church is not the same as the Vatican. It is not even the
hierarchy of the Vatican. It is only the head office. Given the large amount
of elderly men, guarded by beautifully dressed highly dedicated Swiss young
men, given that they are a law onto themselves, they easily qualify.
Thanks,
GerardM

They're saying we're so cliquish that we make the Vatican look like a
casual
coffee work party, not that we are one. Still a mixed metaphor though,
considering the Catholic Church hardly meets the definition of a cult.

Wikipedian's preferences go rather to beer, not dull caffeine.

I had zero idea what a "coffee clatch" was or is. Google tells me it
should probably be "klatch".
And it is "A casual social gathering for coffee and conversation".
Well, I could only agree with that if you say any workplace is a
coffee klatch. People converse. People drink coffee. But they do work
at the same time.
I don't think you become one of the top ten websites in the world,
raise millions of dollars each year, by drinking caffeine and
chatting.
