Pope Francis asks forgiveness for priests who sexually abused children

The tiny town of 6000 year round residents I grew up in has two Catholic churches both on large separate plots of multiple acres, plus a rectory and a school on separate plots. The Rectory and the School are each worth a million plus. The land of churches; several million each. This is one small town in New England. Every town and city in the western world has at least one church and rectory. Then there are the universities and giant cathedrals in the cities.

Take Boston College for example. 332 acres of prime Boston real estate, a 1.8+ BILLION dollar endowment (almost 1/3 of that of Harvard, the largest in the world), 120 buildings, a fine arts museum with a world renowned permanent collection, a colossal library with 15 million priceless books, 9 separate schools and colleges as well as Boston College High School, on an additional 40 acres of prime Boston land AND the Newton College of the Sacred Heart, an additional 40 acre campus in even more expensive (than Boston) Newton Mass, and is only one of two Universities owned by Rome in Massachusetts alone. Furthermore, it is but a small portion of Rome's real estate in the city of Boston. Graduates of Boston College fill an utterly disproportionate amount of political positions in Mass and serve (obviously) at the federal level as well, where again they are joined by a disproportionate amount of graduates of Catholic Universities.

The wealth, power, and reach of Rome is literally incalculable.

And they pay no taxes at all, one of the biggest scams ever pulled off, and the reason Priests are legally barred from influencing politics, yet they routinely do, as it is indeed a vastly corrupt organization.

he won't be banned....apparently he is unbannable....even posting personal info and threatening someone's employment is no longer a bannable offense.


He didn't do anything ban worthy either time. You also have enjoyed some immunity from banning though Yurt, have posted personal information in the past and simply had it edited by Damo, so again, you are in no position to cast stones.

How many people do they serve in these communities?
 
I say punish the perpetrators and move on. Why go after the whole organization? Should we nuke all Muslims because of a few terrorists?

There is such a thing in the law as accessories after the fact, though! I think that is where the rub is. In far too many of these instances the Catholic Church simply moved the priests around and in doing so, the Church efectively foisted them off on a whole new set of victims!
 

Yep

Your own ill-educated words. There's no equivocation here. You have inferred that the only ones who are to blame are all but heterosexuals. Judging from your previous comments on other issues, it's right in character and demonstrates your ignorance.

I find your creative attempt at comprehension gymnastics, laced with baseless assumptions and attacks on my character, amusing.

This is exactly why the church itself is so culpable, they actually spread the illness instead of stopping it. Institutionalized corruption.

You clearly said what was quoted. I find your denial of the truth to be as disingenuous as Dixie and as reality impaired as Philly Rabbit.

Ah the old yurt is back. The snivilling whining, lying little pussy. You quoted directly from a PM I sent to you and Damo ordered you to erase it, which you promptly did. You should have been banned, so STFU.

Maineman is a good guy, a veteran, a patriot, a liberal. You are a lawyer, the first to die after the bankers and insurance execs. Furthermore you are a dishonest, obnoxious whiny little twit and an obvious attention whore.
