Now you know, Joe. And this is just the tip of the tip of the iceberg. The arrogant, condescending, avaricious, disconnected, entitled queens who make up the US Bish Club should be keeping you in court for a long, long time. (Stop grinning!)

If any part of this story concerning the attitude of the Diocese of Venice toward what amounts to making the eviction (30 days to move) of senior citizens from their housing a pre-condition of sale is true, it is very, very troubling.

Once again it puts the spotlight on a clerical mindset and the abuse of power by the institutional church which seems not to have changed all that very much.

The is not the first time the Roman Catholic Church has, "Kicked" the elderly to the curb. In Santa Barbara, California, the Archdiocese of Los Angeles threw three elderly nuns out of their convent, which was owned by the church. The Archdiocese offered no alternative accomoditations for the Good Sisters, other than to move to their Mother House in another city. But this story has a happy ending.....The Episcopal Church In Santa Barbara gave the nuns a house in which to live. BTW the Auxilary Bishop in Santa Barbara lives in a mansion; all by his lonesome.

If Roman Catholic Priests spent more time reading God's word {The Bible}than they did viewing child poronography on the internet they wouldn't be up to their asses in alligators right now. Of course the bible declares "In the final days false teachers will abound and many will be decieved".Do you really believe the popes power to conscecrate the fingers of a priest allows the priest to call Christ from the heavenlies to "live in the tabernacle?" When the priests fingers are inserted into the vagina of a seven year old girl, or they masturbate to climax a thirteen year old boy, is this conscecration,"null and void?" What kind of God would snap to a priestly call anyhow? No God that I would ever worship. What happened to purgatory?Just another priestly larceny story I suppose. Let's keep everyone fearful and beholden to "Holy Mother church" for priestly penance and absolution.In the bible there are two sacrements. Baptism and marriage. Confession is NOT a sacrament. The bible declares: "Confess to one another." That way your Christian brother or sister can see the sin you are struggling with and hold you to account.No secrets there,huh? Believe me, the bigger problem the Roman Catholic church faces is the fact that most of their teachings just have absolutely no basis in Scripture.How many people aren't saved because of the Roman Catholic church's false teaching? Isn't lighting a candle in front of a plaster statue idol worship? If you are not a "Bible believing Christian, why not pick up the bible and read it today? The final book in the new testament, The Book of Revelation sheds a lot of light on the final days before Christ's return. Much of it sounds like what the Roman Catholic church is going through today. I believe we are in the last of the last days. The bible declares: "In the final days all of your deeds done in darkness will be shouted from the rooftops" Sound familiar?
