Francis is pissed off:

Pope Francis has let it be known that he isn’t too happy the way some of his “flock” are abusing the church’s funds. He may be the first pope in years that has tried to practice what he preaches.

I coined this phrase many years ago that is apropos to this story it is incredible.
“I have never seen a skinny priest driving an old car”!

I hope some of you “right handers” read this before going to Catholic Church this morning.

I bet you will take that saw-buck (10) out of the envelope and replace it with fin (5).

Before a man is sworn into the priesthood they have to take vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience.

Poverty – fa get a bout it – read this article you will see just how in what kind of poverty some of these apostles of god live. Many of them live better than the people in their congregations.

Where else can a person get free housing, a house keepers, cooks, free cars and a healthy allowance every month.

It has been estimated that about 30% or more of the men that join the priesthood are gay and their motive for getting the “free ride” is so they access they have to young kids. What a sin.

Chasity – fa get a bout it – many of the guys in black have a “squeeze” on the side. Some of the ones that don’t are pedophiles and the remaining are decent guys that believe in the cause. How many of them is unknown.

Obedience – fa get a bout it – if they were obedient they would not be shaking down their parishioners and breaking the first two vows they took.

It just may be me but I really have a hard time trying to figure out just what do these men in black give for what they receive???

They get on the altar, say a mass and give a sermon; most of which are boring as “hell” and have nothing to do with everyday living of the common man. Many people fall asleep while these guys are rambling on. For that they are richly rewarded.

They supposedly council people on marital problems but none of them have ever been married or at least they shouldn’t have been. That is like me going to a watch maker and asking him what the problem with my automatic transmission. They have no idea.

It isn’t so much about the message, it is about the messenger. If they practiced what they preached it would be a little more palatable to accept the free ride they are getting.

Only someone that has little to no regard for what they are supposed to stand for would abuse the system the way some of them have by living an outrageous luxurious lifestyles. The clincher is they are doing in the name of God.

I can conclude that many of them remind me of politicians. Richly compensated for very little put forth and accomplished.

So to all of my readers and their friends, think 3 times before stuffing that envelope with 20 dollars bills the next time you go on bended knee. Some of the guys in black are living better than you are.

It is too bad that these abusers of the cloth make it look bad for the “real believers” in the faith. How many “real believers” there are is up to debate.

If any of you are going to get into real-estate I would suggest you target some of the disciples of the Catholic Church; they are very big spenders (with someone else’s money).

Not a bad pay back for a few hours worth of work every week.  Huh??
