A quick word on "Overwhelmingly Negative Influences"

[abaris]

What are "we" doing? Do you know?

What the priest and the pathologist did has to be against state law. And what of the church elders (deacons, what ever the catholics call them)? They had to have some idea of what was going to occur and did nothing to stop him. Or better yet, once he started, why did no one stop the service? 

So, pull tax exempt status, what do you think?

There's a pretty strict hierarchy in the Catholic church and a chain of command - as opposed to any protestant denomination. That's the major gripe I have with the Catholic hierarchy. Not that the numbers of priests doing despicable things would be particularly high, but that they higher ups always try to brush things under the carpet as a first reaction. Be it abuse, be it something like that. Along the lines of what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.

That's aiding and abetting in my opinion and that's what pisses me off. There are things demanding immediate action for the general good. But it's always try to preserve our coffers so that noone can make any demands.
