Why would anyone support an institution that protects perverts.

Noah--same reason some people still support Bush--stupid.

C'mon now- let's keep that sheeple-controlling fairy tale going!

Even with it's faults, the chuch provides a wonderful service for people: providing an instant opinion for them so they never learn to use their brains and think for themselves.

Those weekly brainwashing sessions -starting at an early age- are so effective many dont see what's in front of their eyes, whether it's perverted clergy (who have destroyed innocents' lives) or the supported behavior of an administration that because of it's criminal actions, has caused hundreds of thousands of deaths in the Middle East.

With a 2,000 year history of trying to teach man how to save himself from sin, when have they ever been able to save themselves?

$600 million. Better start passing that basket around and around and around.
I must say, if that were the money I had contributed to a church, I'd be pissed.

The ministers are still coverning it up and the entire religion needs to be abolished because it supports pediphilia and hiding criminal activity. I hope it needs to sell off all its assets so those in charge of them have no jobs and the entire heiarchy can be blown away.

The correct figure for ending the pervert lawsuits:

$660,000,000.00

And again the Arch-dioce states the will provide full disclosure and records of anyone implicated.

Deja-vu all over again.

It is absolutely aberrant for any human to be expect to permanently abstain from sex. Until that is changed, the church will continue to confront this problem through the centuries to come.

The Vatican is estimated to be worth up around 15 billion so this is just a drop in the bucket. It will never take away from the pain and suffering of the victims. The pope will not be losing the popemobile.

The Catholic Church should pay for all of the pain they have caused. In the early nineties we had hints of what was occuring, and they ignored it.

Maybe they should let their preachers get married, heh?

"In the early nineties we had hints of what was occuring(sic), and they ignored it. "

At least Galileo finally got an apology.

Zat-
Jesus, man. Give it a few hundred years already before you get all cynical and shit.

"The archdiocese and its insurers will pay between $600 million and $650 million to about 500 plaintiffs -- an average of $1.2 million to $1.3 million per person."


hey, I was molested, too!

how much is GW going to pay for "molesting" all those Iraqis?

"before you get all cynical"

That was when I was seven.

DNA's been comprehended since then.

Edith Piaf.

Achtung!
Litvak!

15 Billion??

I'd say it's worth more than that. They truly are the wealthiest corporation in the world and the single largest landholder. Think of all the churches they own just in Manhattan alone...prime real estate.....and they own land around the globe. Not to mention their own country/city.

shhh...you might wake up one of the Rothschilds...
