US Bishops delay action to address Sexual Abuse

Yeah, yeah, the Priests that prey together, stay together.

Request came from the Vatican.
You know, they call it the Funhouse.

Hey pope-eye..... you prevert.

If people stop contributing when the plate is passed, things change. Until then it's the same old same old.

"Don't do as I do...do as I tell you"...the priest preaches. And then he wonders why the "flock" abandons religion in droves.

When the priests commit heinous crimes, and the "leadership authorities" cover these crimes up...then it's time to get away from the "game", IMO.

I can worship my God from the privacy of my own home. I don't have to play the Church's game...where they package God up and sell him to me.

Bankers' best guesses about the Vatican's wealth put it at $10 billion to $15 billion. Of this wealth, Italian stockholdings alone run to $1.6 billion, 15% of the value of listed shares on the Italian market. The Vatican has big investments in banking, insurance, chemicals, steel, construction, real estate.
