Police Investigate Anglican Church

Police Investigate Anglican Church
Anglicare (the charity wing of the Anglican Church in Australia) gets $50 million per year from the Government on the proviso that the money is used to help the poor and needy.

Then the Archbishop of Adelaide learned that the Anglican Church had to pay huge sums of cash in compensation to victims of Anglican pedophiles, but he wasn't too keen on using church money for that, so he asked Anglicare to give him the cash.

Anglicare said it wouldn't look too good on the books if money destined for good works was being used to pay off Church debts.

Th Archbishop "acknowledged the legal advice and then pushed for alternative ways to obtain financial support from Anglicare." Police are investigating...

RE: Police Investigate Anglican Church
Of course... they could have put the blame fully upon the priests, and given them life in prison or the like Sleepy

Would have been cheaper, at any rate...
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
