Pope Says Italy Tax Dodgers Bear Partial Blame for Virus Health Care Crisis

"It has become evident that those who do not pay taxes do not only commit a felony but also a crime: if there are not enough hospital beds and artificial respirators, it is also their fault," Francis quoted verbatim from the article.

But the Catholic church isn't a tax dodger.  They pay all the taxes they are legally required to pay.  Every penny.

Has pope just re-invented the Protestantism?

Pope Francis is saying that general absolution of sin — confessing directly to God as opposed to through a priest — applies during the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic.

“This is the right time, the opportune moment. An act of contrition done well, and our souls will become white like the snow,” the pope said.

Pope Francis was caught on video proclaiming that Scotch whisky is “the real holy water” — a good-spirited joke to a group of visiting Scottish student priests who presented him with a bottle.

So there you go: Pope treats Holy water as a joke, and if holy water is a joke then so is holy spirit, Jesus and whole Christianity.

Oh no! It seems that Hitler's pope was a bad guy after all

Pope Pius XII, accused of silence during the Holocaust, knew Jews were being killed, researcher says

The long-awaited opening of Pope Pius XII’s wartime records lasted only a week before the coronavirus outbreak shut down the Vatican archives. But that was long enough for documents to emerge that reflect badly on the pontiff accused of silence during the Holocaust, according to published reports.

Pius XII, who headed the Catholic Church from 1939 to 1958 and is now a candidate for canonization, was the most controversial pontiff of the 20th century. His failure to denounce the Holocaust publicly earned him the title of “Hitler’s pope,” and critics have for decades asked for his wartime archives to be opened for scrutiny.

The chain of events goes back to Sept. 27, 1942, when a U.S. diplomat gave the Vatican a secret report on the mass murder of Jews from the Warsaw Ghetto. It said about 100,000 had been massacred in and around Warsaw and added that an additional 50,000 were killed in Lviv in German-occupied Ukraine.

The archive included a note confirming that Pius read the American report. It also had two letters to the Vatican independently corroborating the reports of massacres in Warsaw and Lviv, according to the researchers.

A month before the American request, the Ukrainian Greek Catholic archbishop of Lviv, Andrey Sheptytsky, had sent Pius a letter that spoke of 200,000 Jews massacred in Ukraine under the “outright diabolical” German occupation.

The research team also found three small photographs showing emaciated concentration camp inmates and corpses thrown into a mass grave. A Jewish informer had given them to the Vatican ambassador, or nuncio, in neutral Switzerland to send to the Vatican, and the Holy See confirmed reception of them in a letter two weeks later.

It has long been known that the Catholic Church — possibly with covert U.S. assistance — helped ex-Nazis, like the Holocaust bureaucrat Adolf Eichmann, concentration camp doctor Josef Mengele or Gestapo officer Klaus Barbie, flee to South America.

Given the Fascist movement was an attempt to promote Catholic theocracy it's hardly surprising.

Buffalo Diocese sues to get $1.7 million SBA loan through Covid-19 relief program

The Buffalo Diocese has asked a judge to allow it to apply for a $1.7 million loan through the national Paycheck Protection Program, after the Small Business Administration determined the diocese wasn’t eligible because it declared bankruptcy.

With Catholic Masses suspended during the pandemic, area parishes have been unable to bring in offertory collections. In turn, the parishes have been unable to meet their financial obligations to the diocese, lawyers said in court papers.

Several other dioceses around the country and some Catholic parishes in Western New York have applied for and received loans through the Paycheck Protection Program.

Buffalo Diocese asked a U.S. Bankruptcy Court judge to put a halt on any Child Victims Act cases that are continuing to proceed in state courts against area Catholic parishes, schools and other entities.

You know, it would be a real heart breaker if the Vatican had to sell some of their precious art work and roll the money downhill to save their baby-raping outlets until this shit blows over. Have they no concept of a "loss leader"?

[The Grand Nudger]

They won't. They'll shutter churches. That's what they've been doing. Oh well..guess those people will have to find another franchise location in order to receive the absolutely necessary services that they alone are endowed to perform.

They're a business that does not have to conform to the usual operation or regulation of business..already low, because of the undue deference granted to religious institutions.
