I am a former Catholic until the 2002 Boston Globe article.

I heard others talking about how much of the "gay mafia" was out to destroy Catholicism, or it was just "lies from Satan".

Yea. No. And the cover-ups continue to this day.

Tax the church. Disband it.

And hang all the child molesters. At least let them go like Geoghan did.

the article starts from a wrong premise, to save the church...why save that retrograde, misogynistic, homophobic, and pederast friendly church? Abolish the damn church!

Why save the church?

Start chipping off day by day, an inch by inch, our great children and the generations will benefit. The time to start is now.

That is quiet a piece. Ofcourse, I can easily just leave religion behind and never regret it. But, I suspect big changes will take time, in the Catholic Church, depending who ‘rules the roost!’ Pope Francis is a great start, but even he can’t move ‘heaven and earth.’ And, human nature being what it is, could find the next Pope, going backwards! The Catholic Church still welds enormous power in the world. That bothers me!

Wow

Good luck with that. Trillions of dollars in assets. They won’t give up shit I promise you.

Great idea. And make them get jobs too.

Abolish the entire rcc.
And the anglicans.
Go from there.

That, & the bloody religion as well.
