part of this twistedness is the same girls who were enslaved were washing the garments of the priests...so slavery to uphold peacock displays is one thing...but some of those priests were perverts (and bishops) and that is a whole other dimension..plus they had to wash their underwear etc. It is all disgusting.

But I also ask myself, what would I have done....a terribly poor country, unable to support its population..could not be bringing many children out of marriage into the world...what do you do? Not this certainly, but what exactly?

In the meantime now is the time to jackhammer away at the bad stuff in this church and any church. The time is ripe. Keep the good stuff, like St. Michael the Archangel supposedly said, and get rid of the bad..oops..farewell pope.
