Here's one for you: https://www.bishop-accountability.org/2025/01/u-s-catholic-church-spends-5-billion/
Here they're using it to hurt, well, everyone, but as usual the poor have less means to compensate for it: https://www.catholicsforchoice.org/press-releases/catholics-for-choice-condemns-catholic-bishops-egregious-spending-in-florida/
The money also include a whopping $727,994,390 spent over 20 years on abuse prevention efforts to protect children and youth. The U.S. Catholic Church now spends an average of $36,399,720 every year to protect minors from predatory priests and religious brothers, the study reported.
Compared to the $5 billion they spent covering their own asses? It's a child-raping death cult.
compensation to victims is "covering up"?
Yes. Hush money. Erasing the symptoms instead of solving the problems.

The budget that the Catholic Church has goes in majority to three things.
The Catholic Church will obviously try to stop abortion as it is murder. Catholics for Choice do not exist.
They also spend a huge amount of money on feeding the poor and other charity/relief programs
Abortion is healthcare. Withholding it can be murder.
Fuck you for choosing death.
A nonviable pregnancy or a medical emergency where removal of the fetus is required is not murder.
Abortion is murder.
You're describing abortion.
Abortion is healthcare. Withholding it is murder.
Let's check in on our pals in Texas, huh?

Blood is on your hands.
It should be proven that the fetus is nonviable and/or needs to be removed for the survival of the mother before removal of the fetus is permitted
The matter should not be delayed, though and treated with urgency.
It should be taken on a case-by-case basis, sure. But the more red tape you put in the way, the more likely you are to kill innocent women.
