I wonder how that can be. The Catholic Church owns real estate in almost every city in Europe, usually several buildings in larger cities, often in prime locations. Especially since these properties are only a fraction of the church's financial assets, the rental income alone should be enough to finance the church for all eternity.

I'm going to need a really, /really/ small violin.

Could this really be? After nearly two thousands years of Catholic Church they are finally brought to their knees.

Maybe they can save some money by protecting fewer pedos?

I am an agnostic so my opinion might not be worth anything to Christians (or Catholics specifically), but I don't really see the point in organized church structures. If you believe in God, support his ideals, why do you need to go to church anyway, or at least why would you want your local church support some big hierarchy (often with controversial opinions or actions) for your money?

Nice

Sell some of that gold they've bought and or stolen in the last millenia or two.

But God needs more money! C'mon everybody chip in, he needs his moneeeey!

Bullshit.

What? BS.

something about rich man in the kingdom of heaven right?

Can all the nations they stole artifacts and trinkets from get them back when they declare bankruptcy? /s

Are you sure it's not because you've had to pay billions of dollars in settlements for priests raping children?

Are you sure that's not why?

Nawww poor little pedophiles.

I'm sure God will save them .... by wiring them a few billion dollars

Thoughts and prayers.

Wait, nope, fresh out.

They might need to auction off one of those reptilian skeletons they have in the secret basement.

Oh no...

Bootstraps bitches. Pull em up!
