I'm sure if they switched from molesting kids they could make some money jerking off grown men
good, time to disband that pedo-clown organisation
One the planets largest landlords going bankrupt? I imagine they can cover the spread and still dress like trans-wizards until the lord returns.
Irish Star is as reliable as Alex Jones.
The Catholic Church remains one of the world's wealthiest organizations.
Just ask god for money? I mean, isn't it omnisicent and omnipotent?
Oh, no. Guess they'll have to sell some of those golden trinkets they have
Have they tried NOT having Sex with Kids?
That part was fine. According to the article, what's causing the issue is that Pope Francis said they should help the poor and that climate change is real, and all their scattered asshole donation-makers in all corners of the world got butthurt and turned down the money faucet.

Doubt they’ll even have to sell a diocese.
I wonder how that can be. The Catholic Church owns real estate in almost every city in Europe, usually several buildings in larger cities, often in prime locations. Especially since these properties are only a fraction of the church's financial assets, the rental income alone should be enough to finance the church for all eternity.
Organizations that own that amount of stuff borrow against it to buy even more stuff and as it all goes up in value they borrow more and buy more stuff. In an endless loop. And people call crypto a scam 🤔
Owning that much in assets typically means you also have a lot of debt. Particularly with generational, wealthy, corrupt organizations.
Point being, they can be on the brink of bankruptcy even when owning half of Europe if they can’t service the debt they wound up.
