The diocese -would- have a completely different understanding of the law, now wouldn't it............ This is unsurprising, the church has been padding it's stats. Why would a government award subsidies based upon those stats to an organization -known- to cook the books in the first place? It's silly, and they share responsibility in any potential misappropriation of funds.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Not surprised at all. Hey Catholics try this. Collect all of the newborn names from hospitals and register them. State that god told you they would all be Catholic abd therefore not your fault.

Wait - the Catholic church is fraudulent?  I feel faint with shock and horror.

Shame on Norway for underwriting religion in the first place. If the pew warmers can't make a go of it, close 'em down.

Might as well take money out to the grill pit and burn it.

Fucking maroons.

The diocese is still $900,000 to the good too. Fuck, goddam it!, take back all you gave them, and THEN fine them $5 million on top of that.

The government is still rewarding bad behavior, the catholics will do it again.
