Is there no end to the hypocrisy!

Herr Ratzinger or any front for the Catholic Church Limited calling for “a new business order governed by ethics and the common good” is a bit rich. He lives in a gilded palace running a global conglomerate raking in billions.

His organisation has made its billions from selling religious junk bonds, prostitution, child rape, its tax free status, operating as a State within a State above the law and just plain bare faced robbery.

All the Roman Catholic Church represents is the prosperity of lies.

With dwindiling ‘vocations’ what’s going to happen to all that ‘filthy lucre’ when they pop their clogs? What will happen to the Vatican, churches, cathedrals, properties and lands purported to be owned by the church? Were human rights acknowledged in the pursuit or acquisition of these riches? I fear not!

They will not hide certain things but money they will hide as we shall see when we wittness an example of social economic thinking at the meeting with the Irish government. They will play the “poor mouth” to the degree that they may very well leave the building with money instead of without money.

‘Waking the Dead’ really cut to to the quick – the actresses in the laundry scenes were exceptional. There is still an aura of respectability about the nuns in Ireland – they haven’t gone away you know, and the only people tackling the obscenity of their cloak of respectability is ourselves.

First of all let me say a big thank you to Mike Hull for your article about the catholic church 8 September 2009. You read my mind Mike. It is exactly what I would like to have expressed. The days of ever trusting the catholic church or those who work in their name are well and truly over in my mind.

Hanora Brennan:

Hanora, in reference to your remark “Good job they can’t ask for pennies for the black babies”. What makes you think Hanora, that the catholic church and those who act and work in their name didn’t help themselves before to the black babies boxes?!!! They commited every other crime under the sun and lets face it, they did it in God’s name. They are unscrupulous enough and low enough to stoop to stealing from the poor boxes.

Re-read Mike Hull’s remarks about the catholic church. I think Mike has got the mix absolutely right. Could not have put it better myself.

Nothing new then.
The truth will out.
Did any one watch “Waking the Dead” with Trevor Eve on Sunday and Monday evening this last week end.
The so called good,holy and lovely sisters of Mercy were shown for their REAL talent as Criminals. How come this organisation or those still living have not had a Criminal Conviction imposed upon them.
As for the Little Black Babies or otherwise known and referred to by the Nuns as the “Savages” I doubt if they ever received any of the Pennies put into the Boxes.

Catholic Social Thought AKA Catholic Social Policy as advocated by ArchBigot McQuaid which approved of the Magdalen Laundries obscenities, and the Industrial Schools calamities.

Since the exposure of the Catholic Church’s complicity in the rape, buggery, enslavement and physical brutality of thousands of women & children in Ireland the Church has been struggling to find a PUBLIC role for itself with little success – meanwhile back at the reservations (bishops palaces) the Church has been busy salting away the spoils of it war against Irish women and children.

Social Justice From the Church. Another money making Charity. 76 years later I am still waiting for Justice from Catholic Ireland

The only social thought that the catholic church is aware of is: Starvation, slave labour, torture, and other forms of physical and emotional abuse. The list of abuses is too numerous to mention.
Also, remember, green is the new red and beware of these thugs in black getting a foothold in your government using environmental covers, or your on the road back to the bad old days.

Why, prior to this were they excluding lay people? With dwindling vocations these RELIGIOUS(?) are going to have to deal with lay people and perhaps then have their eyes truly opened to the real world out there. I see they still have the begging bowls out. Good job they can’t ask for pennies for the black babies. I know a goodly portion of my pocket money (hard earned) went back into the black babies box on a Monday morning. Ye gods!
