Latest screwball stunt by PETA...
Only thing I could think of reading this.

:wtf:

MILWAUKEE -- The group People For The Ethical Treatment Of Animals, or PETA, has offered the Milwaukee Archdiocese financial aid while it deals with bankruptcy.

PETA sent a letter to Archbishop Jerome Listecki offering to pay the church cash.

In exchange, the church would have to display a statue of Jesus holding a lamb with the inscription "blessed are the merciful, go vegan."

Thursday evening, a representative of the archdiocese told 12 News the archbishop had not yet received the letter.

This was kind of funny. Better than most of their stunts.

10. The most ironic part...
The Milwaukee diocese is declaring banktruptcy to avoid disclosure in all the shuffling around of child-molesting priests.
