Have they tried NOT having Sex with Kids?
That part was fine. According to the article, what's causing the issue is that Pope Francis said they should help the poor and that climate change is real, and all their scattered asshole donation-makers in all corners of the world got butthurt and turned down the money faucet.
How dare the Catholic Church be a force for good!
You know that American Catholics are like a tiny portion of the worldwide church right?
Whoa whoa let's not get carried away. That's a load bearing pillar of the church pal
Bootstraps bitches. Pull em up!
- LET
- THEM
- EAT
- CAKE
I wonder how that can be. The Catholic Church owns real estate in almost every city in Europe, usually several buildings in larger cities, often in prime locations. Especially since these properties are only a fraction of the church's financial assets, the rental income alone should be enough to finance the church for all eternity.
Organizations that own that amount of stuff borrow against it to buy even more stuff and as it all goes up in value they borrow more and buy more stuff. In an endless loop. And people call crypto a scam 🤔
Owning that much in assets typically means you also have a lot of debt. Particularly with generational, wealthy, corrupt organizations.
Point being, they can be on the brink of bankruptcy even when owning half of Europe if they can’t service the debt they wound up.
If there are physical assets to back up the loans, doesn't that make it less of a scam than crypto.
Maybe not a good business strategy, and maybe the loans outweigh the "true" value of the assets, but there is something backing it.
Well, they can always get back to selling indulgences again or take out (another) mortgage on their state in the middle of Rome when the going gets tough.
They can be broke or rich depending on how they feel that day. They cook the books because they're their own country. They are truly a gang operation. My guess is they want you talking about them being broke as opposed to them being caught with more priests molesting children today.
AG report details abuse allegations against 52 priests, deacons in Diocese of Lansing
Yeah the church is rich af, just sell some of your gold you fucking parasites.
I wish.
Doubt they’ll even have to sell a diocese.
Maybe they can set up a loops server and just do remote mass shorts? They'll have to jump for jebus with different dresses.
I'm sure God will save them .... by wiring them a few billion dollars
Bullshit.
It could be. I haven't heard of the Irish Star. I couldn't decide whether it was bullshit propaganda designed to sound Pope Francis sound like a problem, bullshit propaganda designed to attract clicks and nothing else, truth presented with the goal of making Pope Francis sound like a problem, or what really happened. I decided to post it and stop worrying about it.
Being owned by Reach plc is definitely not a reassuring sign of credibility. Highlights of other news outlets they own include the Daily Star straight up inventing an interview with Dwayne Johnson in 2019, the Daily Express having such a bizarre obsession with Princess Diana that they still pt her name in the headlines about once a week to this day, and the Daily Mirror seemingly doing its "journalism" primarily by the method of hacking into celebrities' personal voicemails throughout most of the 00s
something about rich man in the kingdom of heaven right?
Pfffft... Yeah right.
Oh no. Well anyways
Oh, they are opting for "The Big Lie".
IIRC s friend of theirs coined the expression too!
Oh, pedo funding ran out. Now pedos come to various dictatorships asking for money. Say, Azerbaijan, that'd be those guys who have demolished probably more Christian heritage than ISIS.
BTW, my paternal line is Armenian Catholic from Khodorchur of Dayq province, so I do feel bad about them falling so low, but really nothing one can fix. Just let that thing die.
And it has nothing to do with the afghan opium money they used to launder, but now no longer exists after taliban kicked the US out
