Today the arch doesn't live there,it's where they keep curmudgeon priests.
Give your money to the church! They have to pay off molestation victims and maintain a mansion for the archbishop!
Doesn't quite inspire me to open my wallet....
Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.
God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?

Quote:A new scandal threatens to engulf the Catholic Church and this time the focus is money. Senior Vatican officials are battling over the future of the Vatican bank. While some would like total transparency, dubious transactions from the past and present could harm the Church's image.
Harm the church's image? Worse than butt-fucking children??
I've got news for these guys. These fuckers have no image left.
The Vatican has a BANK!?!?!
And they have the gall to call themselves a charitable organization?

I wonder if the Vatican Bank will give you a loan if you provide a boxful of kiddie porn as collateral....

They'll probably make you a director.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
