The Catholic Church Forced To Start Closing Churches - GoFuckYourself.com

Payback's a bitch. Think of all the money these scammers have sucked out of people's pockets with their weekly ritual circus act over the past hundred years. At least the truth is finally nailing them to the cross like the bs they promote.

Boston Archdiocese Closing 60 Parishes

BOSTON - The Boston Archdiocese will close 60 of its 357 parishes, a massive restructuring brought on partly by the clergy sex abuse scandal that aggravated already shrinking Mass attendance and weekly collections.

Archbishop Sean O'Malley announced the parish closings Tuesday, completing a process that began in December when he said the Roman Catholic archdiocese would be forced to undergo a major downsizing.

He said the reduction was needed because of declining Mass attendance, a shortage of priests and the inability of the archdiocese to support struggling parishes in the midst of a financial crisis caused in part by the abuse crisis.

The announcement was dreaded by parishioners and pastors, who received word about the fate of their churches in letters from O'Malley delivered Tuesday morning, just hours before he released the complete list of closings during a news conference.

The parishes will not close immediately but will gradually shutter through the end of the year.

You got it all wrong, there is nothing to worry about. They are just jobbing out the clergy work to India. More salvation for a cheaper price.

EVERYTHING goes full circle.

Go Fuck My Grandmother · 05-25-2004, 11:07 AM

Good news. ALL churches should be closed, including the little Protestant/whatever ones.

Religion is bullshit, and everyone who believes in one or more G/god(s) is retarded.

KRL, my man, the last 100 hundred years? Make that the last 1700 years. In the Middle Ages, the Church totally dominated everyone's life.......their promises of eternal hellfire if one didn't get with their program went along way to oppress everyone under their iron fist. Just ask Galileo. Thank goodness for the Scientific Revolution and good ole secular humanism.

The end of an era, holy cow. They still own prime slices of real estate, though. It'll be interesting to see how they convert that to cash dollars. Probably will take 20 years to sell the properties, then build a few more churches somewhere else. Sounds like good business, to me, and if nothing else, the Catholic Church is a prime example of smart business.

Its a good thing in my books.

I usually never judge or say anything to you, but why do you always take the side of evil. I consider what the Catholic church much much worse. But no, you choose to focus in on someone making a very valid point.

cant say it should hurt them too much they are the richest church in the world are they not

Good to see. The sooner people realise religion is a crock of shit the better.

They should just set up a merchant account and sell subscriptions to the church instead of begging for money during mass. They could set up recurring monthly billing, and cross-sell Indulgences. I'm sure charge-backs would be minimal... who would want to rip-off God?

riosluts · 05-25-2004, 09:16 PM

I read an article a few years ago that every year so forth, there is a decreasing percentage of Catholics.

Mr. Marks · 05-25-2004, 11:03 PM

It's about time the catholic churches get a wake up call!

"Christianity will go. It will vanish and shrink. I needn't argue about that; I'm right, and I will be proved right. We are more popular than Jesus now; I don't know which will go first -- rock'n'roll or Christianity. Jesus was all right, but his disciples were thick and ordinary. It's them twisting it that ruins it for me."
-- John Lennon

its horrible that they have to close so many down i just read in the paper the other day that they are closing 20 in my area.. most of them due to the lack of money and followers

Babagirls · 05-25-2004, 11:10 PM

Good point although I wonder what the devout catholics have to say about that.
