I read this morning that Senior Cardinals in the USA are conniving to divert millions of dollars from Roman Catholic Church bank accounts into highly complicated and difficult to entangle Trust Funds .
These Trusts are being set up deliberately for no other reason than to put all of this money beyond the reach of claimants who have a legitimate reason to sue the Roman Catholic churches for the thousands
of child sexual abuse cases that are pending.
One expects actions of this type from, say, the Mafia, or a swindling national conglomerate, or a wicked global Multinational , or a corrupt dictator or an embezzling local government, but it truly sticks in my craw when it is a religion that sets itself to be an arbiter of trust, honour and goodliness, and to whom millions of people look to for example and guidance. Not any more, methinks !
