DEFUND THE CATHOLIC CHURCH — Home of Child Molestors!
Before we even consider defunding Planned Parenthood, let’s defund the Catholic cult – oh sorry, “church” – for raping innocent children.
These fuckers have no right to talk about children. Or about healthcare. You know what us non-Catholic Christians call our local Catholic hospitals? Death centers. I wouldn’t trust them to give me a flu shot, let alone remove my appendix or my gall bladder. If I ever have a wife (I’ve never been married), I would never allow her to deliver our children at a Catholic hospital unless I was prepared to lose both my love and our child – which I would never be.

I agree - defund the Catholic Church, and the Baptists, Methodists, Lutherans, hell - defund all churches, synagogues & mosques.
Use that money to actually help people.
I'm more fundie than you, nanananana!!!!!
Joke apart, the catholics have begun to make their autocritic. That's probably why those who cannot imagine doing so bash them so strongly.
While I applaud the sentiment, it shows honest-conservative doesn't much understand the way the US system works.
I wonder if there are any Jewish hospitals near him? We should put him in contact with some of the people from CTSTDT.
@creativerealms: i'm honestly not sure how you'd even tally up the wealth of the catholic church. is there actually a formal, multinational organization by that name that keeps anything like a book of accounts for itself? or is it more like a bunch of technically-independent organizations that all report to the vatican city in practice only, while being nominally or technically independent? not being in any way catholic myself, i've never really investigated it.
either way, i can't imagine the vatican city in and of itself is much of a resource. no productive industry, not much of a tax base --- if it weren't independent, i can well imagine it'd be broke. still, there must be SOME cash flow or all those cathedrals and things would've collapsed for lack of maintenance by now, i suppose. (owning a lot of art, sort of like owning a yacht, is not proof of great wealth. it's proof that you once spent a lot of money acquiring status symbols. whether you still have any money left is a different matter; you may have enough to pay for the ongoing upkeep, but the vatican city needs not pay taxes to anyone, so...)
OK, let's defund the church. I mean, of course, let's start making the churches pay taxes on their wealth, because that's the only way in which the government supports them. Ooh, sorry .....we don't just mean the Catholics, we mean your church too.
@Nomen Nescio:
The Vatican is funded primarily through the weekly donations in the collection basket. If you believe the movies, they may have some secret dealings with the mafia, but no clear evidence that is true or not. But there are enough rubes putting their envelopes in the basket every week to keep them going. But like any corporation experiencing loss of revenue, they have had to downsize here and there. The church I went to as a kid closed a long time ago, and my mother mentioned just the other day that when she goes to church she notices how empty it is.
Actually, I agree with this. The feds should defund the Catholic Church, and all religious organizations, by taxing them.
Well, if I find you injured after an accident, I'll make sure that you get to a hospital of your own denomination, no matter how long it takes to get there.
@honest-conservative
Your church has child molesters.
Don't fool yourself, your denomination has no higher ground nor truth.
It's ridiculous when Catholics claim their priests abuses are lower than national level, it's equally ridiculous when your church claims that.
But what should I expect, he thinks it's significant that a lot of people die in hospitals, I thought people were a little smarter than that.
Defund ALL religious institutions. If you only defund RCC, that's discriminatory, but if you defund all of them, then you have Amendment I.
@Canadiest
Funny thing is, it's arguable that the problem of pædophilia in Protestant churches is even more severe than in Catholic ones.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
