I think most Catholics suspect this.
Bring on the Truth. Truth disinfects.
John 3:20-21
For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.”
Suspect? There’s more than that at least locally. It’s in the court/ civil/ and criminal record. Our local crowd of Holy Romans got a dose of reality when two of the PedoPriests got busted, by the parents, for kiddydiddling. They went to jail for it.
But there’s more. The parents were mad enough to sue for damages and won bigly-—something like 50 mill$ in damages.
All, or nearly all, of the churches in the eastern side of the state are owned by the same diocese. The book keeper saw the damage claim coming and tried to separate the ownerships back to the individual churches. But the lawyers and a judge caught them doing it and froze them up tight. They are still selling off properties to pay that judgement.
All that is just another reason the Popester needed those USAID kickbacks. The dirt is deep with that bunch.
Funny side story: Just today I hear that the pope’s official shirt maker has to tighten up his operation a bit. Maybe the new guy will have to dress off the rack at Walmart? Maybe use some surplus graduation gowns?
Those who ignore the bible ignore history.
Yes!
