In my diocese, and one adjacent, the bishop levies a “tax” on the individual parishes, with the warning “Raise it by special collections if you want, but if you can’t it comes out of your general budget”.

I suspect he is an “Authorized User” on the parish checking accounts, so he can write himself a check whenever he wishes; shorting the collection plate hurts only the local parish.

Also in the case of each diocese, when the rampant homosexuality of the bishops/archbishops/cardinals became very public in June, the local bishops wrote namby-pamby “Letters to the Faithful” encouraging them to contact the diocese “Victim Advocate” if they had any concerns.

Homosexualists all.

Do as the parishioners in Buffalo did.

Include notes that say no $$ until the Bishop is gone.

Pass those on to the Bishop til he gets the message.

Also in the note, include:

"There are plenty of charities who more efficiently and faithfully have mercy on the needy."

Not all bishops and priests are homosexuals. In fact, very few are.
