The cost of a coverup. Abuse in the Catholic Church.

How does the church deal with it's financial woes? By secretly diverting monies from the Cemetery Maintenance fund and others.

You thought that the money was going to be used to maintain the graves of your loved ones? No! It's used to finance the defense of kiddy fiddling priests.

From a couple of days ago:

A Church So Poor It Has to Close Schools, Yet So Rich It Can Build a Palace

So many leaders of the church have served it so badly for so many decades that it’s hard to keep track of their maledictions. Archbishop Myers provides one-stop shopping. He is known to insist on being addressed as “Your Grace.” And his self-regard is matched by his refusal to apologize for more or less anything.

It was revealed last year that a priest seemed to have broken his legally binding agreement with Bergen County prosecutors to never again work unsupervised with children or to minister to them so long as he remained a priest. When next found, he was involved with a youth ministry in the Newark Archdiocese.

Parishioners in Oradell, N.J., also discovered that the archdiocese had allowed a priest accused of sexual abuse to live in their parish’s rectory. A furor arose, and last summer the archbishop sat down and wrote an open letter to his flock. He conceded not a stumble. Those who claim, he wrote, that he and the church had not protected children were “simply evil, wrong, immoral and seemingly focused on their own self-aggrandizement.”

As to his critics, the archbishop accused the media of refusing to explore the “lifestyles” of the former or marginalized priests who criticize the church. “Lifestyle” is an intriguing kidney punch of a euphemism; presumably the archbishop meant “gay.”

Financial woes? The wealth of the Catholic church surpasses imagination but of course they will first divert money from their lesser holdings as any big business would do. And that they are - a big multi million dollar business.

Since I was 17 years old and hitchhiking through Europe (over 6 decades ago) I never understood after my tourist traipse through St Peter's how Catholics could justify their faith when, right around the corner from this huge museum of priceless artifacts (and not even counting the trillions-worth stored in the archives thereof) were tiny and rudimentary poor places of worship of the same faith where the obviously very poor parishioners gave literally pennies to keep these crumbling and bare places of worship functioning.

Yeah I went to the Vatican when I was in Italy in 2005 and I was disgusted by the vast wealth.

The wealth and show is not for the pope and cardinals, it's for Christ. Christ has to appear successful, it's PR. The most powerful god must have the biggest palace.

I bet the priests who fiddled the kids convinced them that they were doing it for Jesus.

After the Rev. Gil Gustafson was convicted of child sex abuse 30 years ago, the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis made sure he was financially secure for decades to come.

The church continued his priestly salary and health insurance, covered his living expenses and psychological treatment and paid for his education and training, according to church records and a former archdiocese accountant. It has given him jobs in the chancery, helped him establish his own consulting business and steered clients his way.

In July 2006, Gustafson was declared “disabled” based on his pedophilia, the church said. This allowed him to collect disability checks on top of his earnings as a leadership consultant.

The archdiocese’s long-standing support of Gustafson, outlined in church documents and interviews, has angered abuse victims and their families. They say it’s another sign that the church cares more about the welfare of abusive priests than the children they assaulted.

And yet they concentrate on gay people being abominations:

ATLAH Worldwide Missionary Church Posts Horrific Anti-Gay Sign In Harlem, New York

The sign reads: "Obama has released the homo demons on the black man. Look out black woman. A white homo may take your man"

This is devastating what Obama is doing to the black man and the black woman, and how the white homo is now moving into the black neighborhoods looking for black men that have been converted into homosexuality. But black woman let me say something to you: you have a very hard time competing against a white homosexual male. He's usually got money -- a white homo usually has an American Express card. He usually has an opportunity at the theater -- homos love the theater. They love to go out to dinners, parties, they love that kind of a thing... black people need to rise up in mass and recognize the utter destruction that Obama is going in to destroy the black family with these homosexual statements that he has done and release of demons."

I watched the Frontline episode on PBS last week on the scandals within the Catholic Church.

No wonder the previous Pope resigned...he was overwhelmed by all the gayness around him.

Why would anyone still belong to this archaic organization?

Proud to be Catholic?
More than five decades after the Home was closed and destroyed — where a housing development and children’s playground now stands — what happened to nearly 800 of those abandoned children has now emerged: Their bodies were piled into a massive septic tank sitting in the back of the structure and forgotten, with neither gravestones nor coffins.
