The upside is that that they have more money to pay out to the victims of sexual abuse by catholic priests.
The Vatican doesn't take financial responsibility for the actions of abusive priests around the world. It barely acknowledges moral responsibility.
They run some the some of the biggest healthcare, education and social services programs in the world. You ignorant heathens.
evangelical mega churches were first on the racket. I'm waiting for the Mosques, the Mormons, and the Scientologists to get in on the action.
