And calm down snarky britches - I did read all of your posts and that's what it read like to me - fair enough, that wasn't what you meant, but I found it confusing.

Then look what Mr Bush did....got us back there in the trillions! To relieve the national dept perhaps we should just stop committing war crimes in other countries and stop giving business men the right to over charge for the US Government for toilet seats and hammers and then maybe all those boys and girls that were not fortunate enough to die on foreign soil, would not have to rot in VA hospitals by the tens of thousands being given inadequate care. Does anyone know the number or wounded young men and women rot in VA hospitals? If that isn't child abuse I do not know what is. Interesting to see how some can go on about the catholic church when their own government is torturing people and holding them in concentration camps. That's abuse, isn't it? Get your own house in order before start going after Vatican City, not that someone should take those people to task as well.

Don't know if you aren't from the US, but if you qualify as a tax-exempt religious organization you do not have to pay property taxes (I think). “Sooooo - Vdantev wants the US to tax the Vatican City to alleviate the National Debt?

I think that accounts for quite a few of us! And yes re the sprinkling. Anything that moves. The blessed stuff is kept in a variety of bottles (always bleached beforehand - cleanliness being next to Godliness) but she keeps the Holy Mary fancy ones in her glass cabinet. “a la carte Catholic” - Love it.

Um. What? Besides - much of the land in other countries is not in the hands of the clergy, but rather in the hands of the religious (monasteries and convents). The two things are quite different. The priests are directly responsible to their bishops, who in turn are responsible to their primates and then to the Pope. The religious are responsible to their order. Anyway, you'd better get a move on vdantev as the religious in many countries are selling off their assets at a rate of knots. :P Sooooo - Vdantev wants the US to tax the Vatican City to alleviate the National Debt?

I do see a bit of a double standard here. Other denominations and as someone pointed out public schools suffer from the same scandals (abuse AND cover ups), even with more frequency in some cases, but don't seem to incur the same wrath from people. Me? I think that anyone involved with the crime and subsequent cover-up, whether by clergy (of any faith) or teachers or any other person who uses their office to take advantage of some of the most defenseless among us should be put underneath the jail.
