This really feels like crossing a line. Whelp, time to tax 'em I guess....
The catholic church havs been stomping proudly across that line for years.
It is an international child sex traffic organization...
They should be disband and some clergy jailed along with all of the top brass.
It is disgusting that "civilized" society thinks these whores can get 69 chances and then still continue to abuse children.
Is the Catholic church the "foreign billionaires with outside influence" who they were talking about?

Isn't the central guidance of Christianity to emulate Christ?
When I was a Christian, the only people I took seriously were the people who actually acted like they'd read the New Testament. You could really tell the folks that took Jesus' message of compassion and caring seriously, and who was just there to participate in the HOA of religiosity. I was the former, so I naturally ended up leaving the church.

American Catholics are just Protestants who like kneeling
