A disturbing but not surprising article:

Vatican Bank

Makes me wonder about the connection between the Catholic Church and the Mafia.

A logical pairing, ripe for cross-pollination.

Good grief: does Jesus sleep with the fishes?

i think it is pretty safe to say there is no depth to which the catholic church will not sink.
this is not really surprising.
i mean does it get any lower than systematically enabling the widespread rape of children?

Yep. Raping children is going to be hard to beat.

I've struggled with low self esteem and eating disorders my entire life because my priest didn't rape me...not even a fondle.

Reminds me of the South Park where Mr. Garrison had grown up his whole life thinking his father (parental, not religious) didn't love him because he wasn't molested.

Me too! I guess I wasn't very attractive? But my priest did use me to hold down the small kids to keep them from squirming around.

At least I didn't feel totally worthless.....

Since child labor has been outlawed in this country, kids have no where else to turn for their self worth. The Catholic church only filled the void. WWJD

I would tend to think that only one of the two institutions could live by bleeding the poor.

My opinion is that there is nowhere more mafia then in politics. But its legalised.
