    Sometimes they give all their money to their church though. Funnily enough, that money doesn’t help the starving or homeless either.

          most of it was spent on a budget deficit, a budget allocated to help the poor and needy

              The budget that the Catholic Church has goes in majority to three things.

              1. Charity and Relief
              2. Construction and Maintenance
              3. Feeding, clothing and providing necessities to clergy and brothers

              The Catholic Church will obviously try to stop abortion as it is murder. Catholics for Choice do not exist.

              They also spend a huge amount of money on feeding the poor and other charity/relief programs

                Abortion is healthcare. Withholding it can be murder.

                Fuck you for choosing death.

                  A nonviable pregnancy or a medical emergency where removal of the fetus is required is not murder.

                  Abortion is murder.

                    You’re describing abortion.

                    Abortion is murder.

                    Abortion is healthcare. Withholding it is murder.

                    Let’s check in on our pals in Texas, huh?

                    https://www.propublica.org/article/texas-abortion-ban-sepsis-maternal-mortality-analysis

                    The rate of sepsis shot up more than 50% for women hospitalized when they lost their pregnancies in the second trimester, ProPublica found.

                    ProPublica previously reported on two such cases in which miscarrying women in Texas died of sepsis after doctors delayed evacuating their uteruses. Doing so would have been considered an abortion.

                    Blood is on your hands.

              The money also include a whopping $727,994,390 spent over 20 years on abuse prevention efforts to protect children and youth. The U.S. Catholic Church now spends an average of $36,399,720 every year to protect minors from predatory priests and religious brothers, the study reported.

                Compared to the $5 billion they spent covering their own asses? It’s a child-raping death cult.

                  compensation to victims is “covering up”?

                    Yes. Hush money. Erasing the symptoms instead of solving the problems.

                    Also this: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/20503032211015282

                    Catholic priests who sexually abused minors were transferred to other parishes without disclosing the actual reason for their transfer.
