As I said in a previous post, it comes in threes (this time it's the old pedophelia story). I couldn't be happier to see it happening to a prominent symbol of the waste and excess (not to mention abuse and hypocricy) of the roman catholic church. While I have nothing but sympathy for all the victims involved in both the sex abuse scandal as well as the male prostitutes (who are probably not all willing participants in the work), I can't help but to feel glee at the misfortune of the church. As far as I am concerned, it is nothing but an agent of ignorance and evil. All the good that the church has done in its lifetime is IN SPITE of being part of the church, NOT because it was part of the church.
I mean seriously, just because a guy is the supposed conduit for magical skyfairy makes him infallible? And the policies the church condones? Did you know that they didn't stop killing witches oficially until well into the 19th century in Italy (not to mention it still goes on in the name of the church in Africa). And their policies toward responsible reprodctive rights and women's rights are still medieval. Even taking 500 years to apologize for the persection of Galileio shows their reluctance to really embrace reality.
And the OBSENE amount of wealth they have... That right there just pisses me off to no end. So jewish sky zombie is omnipotent, but can't balance his fucking checkbook? Yeah right!
If you saw an organization like this centered around anything else aside from religion, it would be so blatantly obvious that it's a scam that you'd of course have nothing to do with it. But as soon as it centers around the delusion of imaginary friends, it has worldwide support... And the way this organization works is really no different than protestants, baptists, or what have you. They are all fucking batshit crazy. And they all have ludicrious wealth that serves very little purpose.
Anyway, I just hope this is the start of a general downfall and disilliosnionment with religion. Of course, anyone who isn't catholic will gloat saying that of course the catholics are wrong, and their version of batshit crazy is The One True Truth... Sound familiar?

Might you like to read the latest from The Rockin' Apologist? Link
An Apologist? No, I would NOT like to read that. They are generally mentally castrated idiots...
But I did click on it, and saw the response to a COMEDY routine. Have you idiots had a total humorectomy?
And selling the vatican isn't the answer, that generates more problems than it solves, but what is with all the GATHERING of that obscene wealth in the first place?
First, I don't know how much "wealth" we are talking about here.
Why don't you leave him a comment and ask him about it? What could it hurt?
Net CASH profit ranges between $180 million to a little less than $20 million annually. Value of property and holdings is in the range of $5 Billion not counting church property or Vatican City itself (i.e. mostly condos and apartments in the name of the church). The church properties that are excluded form that $5 billion adds up to over one Trillion. This still does not include the art and "precious" relics which are much more difficult to appraise due to (a) the holy see not giving a full accounting of all that they have, and (b) many of the items are only of a religious value. Some have estimated that if it were placed on an open market, it would total to several billion.
Are you so incredibly lazy that even a little research is beyond you? That took me longer to type out than it did to find...
