ArchivedA saint of last resortThe church hid the child abuse cases for 50 years. Not all diocese are cooperting with the commitee investigating the abuse cases, so this is yet to be resolved. Since you live in England you probably don't get all the information available to us. As to the RCC being the best organized that is a matter of opinion. No church that is efficiently organized is going to go into debt because it can't manage its own affairs properly. According to the USCCB the child abuse scandal is handled and that is simply not true. Can you cite an independant organization? You are totally missing my point. The city I live in has a very active Catholic Charities that is funded not only by Catholics but the general public and with some aid from Protestants. The Salvation Army is probably as active in helping the poor and needy as Catholic Charities. However, on a national or international level I know for a fact that some Protestant denominations have billions invested in stock and bonds. These funds are for retirement programs, building programs, on-going funding of missionaries, etc. And I don't agree with them hording money either. The Presbyterian Church owned the Empire State Building at one time but sold it when they came under criticism for being a tax exempt organization running a for profit business. You live in England I lived in Texas where I could see the result of the RCC's lack of help in Catholic dominated countries. I have seen Latino Catholics worship images, I have heard Latino Catholics defend their worship of Mary. What the catechism teaches and how Catholicism is practiced in 3rd world countries is not the same. The reality is the RCC has bred a mass of idol worshippers who use Catholicism to mask their pagan practices. When the Pope travels the cities he visits pick up the tab, not the Vatican. |
