Pope ask Banks to Help the Poor
Looks like the Catholic Church isn't getting the donations in this tough economy. Banks help poor. Poor throws money away into the Vatican coffers, money goes to paying off lawsuits against Priest.

"As long as the Church is tossing out unlikely salvation suggestions for other corrupt institutional entitites, we'd like to see the Church transcend it's fossilized, Patriarchial Chauvinism and perverse propensity to pomposity." - Banks

"Looks like the Catholic Church isn't getting the donations in this tough economy. Banks help poor. Poor throws money away into the Vatican coffers, money goes to paying off lawsuits against Priest."

He and George W Bush are twins. The evil twins spawned from Hell. If his unholiness hadn't been so adamant that the Church was to cover up the pedophilia, he set the policy for the cover up while cardinal and "grey eminence" at the Vatican, the Church wouldn't be going bankrupt from having to settle with everyone who was molested.

Bush and his father and Clinton all turned their eye to all the illegal immigrants being hired in this country for the past 22 years, the "guest workers" for the politically correct, and of course the Church encouraged it as well. The poor in Mexico are very generous to the Church since after all they will have it much better in Heaven. The priests tell them so. And of course they make more money here in the United States. So they can be even more generous. Although apparently not generous enough to fill the empty coffers that were emptied by the priests who talk about the "moral life" while leading the "immoral life" and acting very pious about it all.

I am beginning to think devout Catholics are suffering from some sort of mental disorder. Of course that's really the only group of Catholics at this point. Everyone else sort of has slowly "excommunicated" themselves.
