What a pathetic attempt at deflection. Bottom line is they collect fat bank.

Considering the billions they would have collected in tithes over the years from the Philippines.
$150000 is an insult.
If you're not supposed to ride faster than your guardian angel can fly then mine had better get a bloody SR-71.

If you felt obliged to temper the vitriol against the RCC, you failed with that GDP reference. You dislike them, see the slap to the face they meted out for what it is.

After some digging, I found that the vatican pledged 4 million, that is up from the orginal 2 million they orginally pledged. http://world.time.com/2013/11/13/china-t...00-in-aid/
China is the one who has only pledged 100,000.00 and when criticized by the rest of the world they went to 1.6 million.

This thread and all who have participated in this without doing their due diligence should be ashamed. Your hate and intollerance should have been directed toward the Chinese, not the Itialians.

Even $4 million is chump change for the Vatican, with the billions of dollars of wealth they're sitting on.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.

Yeah, but the $4 million is more urgently needed for shuffling pederast priests out of the way of secular law, and to pay off a few asses, I meant boys, who became impudent enough to sue the church for the wrongs.
