Catholic Church got billions in federal small business bailouts.

and what are they spending the money on? Your guess is as good as mine! It’s not like the Catholic Church is transparent about that shit.

Is it worth noting that many dioceses were already strapped for cash cuz of all those pedo priest abuse settlements?

You really shouldn't yell about fox news and then use reddit as your main source of information.

The U.S. Roman Catholic Church used a special and unprecedented exemption from federal rules to amass at least $1.4 billion in taxpayer-backed coronavirus aid, with many millions going to dioceses that have paid huge settlements or sought bankruptcy protection because of clergy sexual abuse cover-ups.

Ah, 99 beat me to it.

But tdub, you’re right. I shouldn’t use reddit as my main source of information.

That’s why I mostly just use reddit for niche porn!

I heard the story on NPR earlier.

But hey, speaking of Fox News, looks like they one among many news sources picking up the story:
...The church’s haul may have reached -- or even exceeded -- $3.5 billion, making a global religious institution with more than a billion followers among the biggest winners in the U.S. government’s pandemic relief efforts, an Associated Press analysis of federal data released this week found.

Houses of worship and faith-based organizations that promote religious beliefs aren’t usually eligible for money from the U.S. Small Business Administration. But as the economy plummeted and jobless rates soared, Congress (shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, but) let faith groups and other nonprofits tap into the Paycheck Protection Program, a $659 billion fund created to keep main street open and Americans employed...

Perhaps the toughest part about is, the Catholic Church isn’t exactly strapped for cash. They have untold hoards of money and and assets and material, uh, golden calves.

Or maybe they are hurting. Who knows, because it’s not like they’re up front about shit.

Perhaps I should recuse myself as a Catholic, but how do other faiths feel about their taxpayer money bailing out the Catholic Church?

Once again I'll say I don't think it's funny to make fun of people who are not well but I felt this might be appropriate for this thread.

Interesting that the article essentially covered for him. The photo was taken on a yacht in his/her/their bedroom and he was drinking. He makes the NRA seem like corrupt wannabes.
