Francis Bankrupts the Catholic church
Timothy Birdnow
Well, it finally happened; a leftist just ran out of other people's money. This case is quite unfortunate in that it involves the independent Vatican; Pope Francis has driven away donations and angered so many people they are now broke and begging for help.
According to the article in yahoo news:
So, like all good leftists, Frankie blew all the cash and is finding it difficult to raise the money now that he's insulted much of the Church.
This wouldn't be a problem if Francis hadn't pushed so "progressive" an agenda.
When I was a kid we had a very conservative pastor at our church and he was always in the black financially; he knew how to raise revenue and people gave because he was a rock, a pillar of the community. When he died he was replaced bya big liberal who immediately put the parish in the red. It's closed now and not by some coincidence.
Leftism brings pvoerty, and this proves it.
Francis has stacked the College of Cardinals with his sychophants and I fear his replacement will be just as bad as he. Catholicism is in deep trouble. I fear schism may be the only way to save a remnant now; the main body of the Church seems determined to go down the path of insanity, skipping merrily to Hell with the obscene culture. These cardinals won't vote for "regime change" now.
God will have to chastise the Church first, and this may be the rumblings of terrible plagues to come.

According to the article in yahoo news:
In an unusual letter sent to all the world's cardinals and to the leaders of the Vatican's various offices, the pope did not quantify the scope of the issue.
He said the changes would include "making difficult decisions that will require particular sensitivity, generosity, and willingness to sacrifice on the part of everyone".
Francis appointed Cardinal Kevin Farrell, an Irish-American prelate who has led the Vatican's office for family issues since 2016, to take over as the fund's administrator.
The pope has expressed uncommon concern about the Vatican's budget several times in recent months. In October, he ordered the third reduction in three years for the pay packages of the cardinals who lead the Vatican. He has also asked them to pursue a "zero deficit" agenda.
The Vatican has not released a full budget statement in several years but is known to be facing a serious budget deficit.
The Vatican's finance czar estimated in 2022 that the net liability of the pension fund for post-employment benefits amounted to some 631 million euros ($664 million)

Oh-oh! I wonder if the paid musicians at our church, including my wife, are in danger?

Not yet since that is a parish level thing Dana, but it will effect everyone at some point. She would be wise to get her money up front though!
I no longer even HAVE a parish; they closed mine, along with a half dozen others in my area, to pay for the pedophilia lawsuits. We had no fewer than three priests at Our Lady of Sorrows who were accused of molestations! Fitting name for such a place, eh?
That's why one of the visionaries of Medjugorje came to my church way back when; it was only one of two in the area Ivan Drpjigovitch visited here. That was before the scandals broke.
I have a personal connection to that too. It's a long story - ask me about it some time. It is one of the things that keeps me going.
