Is this true??

I have a solid fact for you. The real catholic church is happy to take the money of anybody who calls themselves catholic. And trust me when I tell you that the more they give,the more they are welcome.

can't disagree with that....my biggest disappointment with the church beyond the scandals is the incessant fundraising apparatus.....I have piles of envelopes at my house from multiple church's requesting donations for everything under the sun, newsletters telling you how much of your "time, talent and treasure" that you "should" be contributing...everything has a fee attached to it...not unlike government except that it's still voluntary(if you want to get to heaven)

Not sure you're speaking from experience or hearsay , but I'm pretty sure that can be said of most religions . One thing I do find ironic about the whole abortion thing on this site. Some would defend the commercial harvesting a baby body parts but lambaste the commercial harvesting a striped bass .

More of that happens than I would care to admit.

What do they do with that money? Any guesses?

It goes to bribe Saint Peter to let you into heaven and to forget about all those sins you (the one giving all that money to the church) racked up over the years.

Oh wait. It's going to all the males who were sexually abused / raped by those who called them selves messengers of gods will and word.

Whatever.

Last night Nebe, some of your fellow citizens received a free meal at a Catholic soup kitchen, free healthcare at a Cathoilic hospital, free boarding at a Catholic shelter, adoption services at a Catholic entity, and subsidized education at Catholic schools. None of that stuff is free.

Liberals claim that conservatives don't care about helping the
poor, then Sea Dangles acts like the church needs to be called out for aggressive fundraising to do just that. Can't win.

And everyone involved in the sexual abuse, should be in jail.

And if you're interested, it's not a fact. The church has rejected donations when principles were at stake. Sylvester Stallone, who claims to be Catholic, wanted one of his many weddings to be at St Patrick Cathedral in NYC, he offered to make a huge donation to the chirch if they agreed, they said no thanks.

The Catholic Church is very aggressive about raising money. Much of that money, goes to people in need. I don't see a lot of priests living in luxury, not in proportion to the hours they put in.

What religion are you, Dangles? How many hospitals, soup kitchens, schools, homeless shelters, does your church operate? It takes $$.
