LINK The Catholic Church Hoarded Billions in PPP Loans Despite Its Vast Riches | Hemant Mehta | Friendly Atheist | Patheos

We knew last year that Catholic churches were among the biggest recipients of “Paycheck Protection Program” (PPP) loans during the pandemic. By one estimate, more than 12,000 of the 17,000 Catholic churches in the U.S. applied for funding and most of them received a lot of taxpayer money — theoretically to keep lights on and staffers paid since the usual cash intake had come to a standstill.

But a new report from Reese Dunklin and Michael Rezendes of the Associated Press finds that a lot of those churches were already hoarding cash to begin with. They didn’t need the money at all. But they chose to take taxpayer money instead of dipping into their own savings.

Not surprised in the least, the entire lot of them are not much more than parasites imo.

As if the tithing paid by the sheep isn't enough. They are held above the law in many ways and should not be entitled to secular assistance. They don't pay taxes.
