I have a close friend who's a head server at a nice restaurant. Once a year, she works the banquet for Chicago Catholic Dioceses Conference. The donations poor Catholics give every Sunday - which are supposed to go to the poor parish schools/churches and Catholic charities? Well, it goes right into the bellies of the Cardinal, bishops, and monsignors. My friend reported the evening conference for 50 elite church leaders cost $17,000+! That's $340+ per. (BTW, most was spent on booze.) My ol' Irish Catholic granny used to say about priests - 'Put a beggar on horseback and he'll ride to the devil'! If you're not familiar, this means one who's been made arrogant and corrupt through achieving wealth and luxury. My granny pegged em.

Ever been in a big Catholic cathedral? The wealth of the RC church is obscene.
