(Huffington Post)   Turns out the easiest way to piss off the Pope is to examine the Vatican's tax-haven bank and its investment practices. Who knew?   (huffingtonpost.com) divider line 39

Normally, international criminal brotherhoods based in Italy are prosecuted under the RICO act.

It's only a crime if there are no skywizards involved. Otherwise, it's protected by the 1st Amendment.

Well, I am surprised. I thought it would have something to do with not wanting clergy to rape little boys.

The only reason that pissed him off was that people wouldn't STFU about it

If people had just keeping their mouths closed, it wouldn't have been an issue.

Roll tanks to the border, end the church permanently.

What's the big deal? It's not like Christ expressed any opinions on the financial profession.

His opinions on gays are crystal clear, but his thoughts on financial matters are a bit vague. He never seemed to mention one of them, I forget which.

Can you imagine what it would be like if church services were subject to a value added tax (VAT)? I can.
 
2012-05-22 02:26:13 PM
The pope is a worthless POS and catholicism is pure dogsh*t.
 
2012-05-22 02:55:45 PM
Their church welcomes all denominations, but their favorite is the twenty dollar bill.

Cops? The reporter involved with this story should worry about a lot more than cops. I expect assassinations to start shortly (family, friends, second cousins...you name it. This is the goddam VATICAN)

Glad he was willing to give his life for the story though...takes balls of freakin steel

Corruption in the Church? Old news is old - really, really old.

The Vatican is its own country I doubt it is going to prosecute its absolute ruler.

The author sounds like he just wants a tour of the bridges of London.

Look, whoever took these docs, broke a commandment, right? I mean, isn't the god supposed to deal with it on the last day? Then, why the pope gettin' all frothy and everything about it? Or, maybe, there really is no god. And, these dicks in their funny hats just been woolin' it all these centuries. If you ask me, there really is no god, and, these dicks in their funny hats just been woolin' it all these centuries.

Hmm...North Korea and The Vatican have more in common than I realized.

Reading their financial ledger would say a lot more about that organization than reading the other book they spend so much time talking about...

Why anyone would be catholic is beyond me.

Apparently they don't have any choice:


I'm a Roman Catholic,
And have been since before I was born,
And the one thing they say about Catholics is:
They'll take you as soon as you're warm.

You don't have to be a six-footer.
You don't have to have a great brain.
You don't have to have any clothes on. You're
A Catholic the moment Dad came,

Considering it got one Pope killed (John Paul I), Monsignor Nuzzi would do well to shut up.

I was trying to invite the Pope to Harvey Milk Day, but I couldn't remember his Grindr handle.

Wow. Amazing. Still don't care.

Pfeh... They rendered unto Caesar all that was Caesar's... There just wasn't anything that was Caesar's.

It's obvious that God needs a mansion, with plenty of gold about the place, paintings of naked men, other men going around wearing dresses...
