Protecting Rome's Real "Rock" - Money!

Catholic dioceses around the USA continue to legally re-vamp themselves in order to protect diocesan assets. One such example was reported in the May 11 issue of the Pittsburgh Catholic, the newspaper of the Diocese of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in an article titled, “High Schools to be Aided Through Incorporation.”

Comment – Let’s face it, we know the Catholic Church will not get rid of the perverts in its priesthood, so instead Rome is focusing on worldly legal methods to limit any future lawsuit damages.

In this particular instance, it concerns the, “Restructuring (of) its seven diocesan high schools and one parish high school to clarify and improve their legal structures.”

“Diocesan schools have been operating under the direct fiscal and administrative control of the Diocese of Pittsburgh and…diocesan auspices. In September, the schools will be incorporated as individual Pennsylvania non-profit corporations. They will no longer be legal entities owned and operated by the Diocese of Pittsburgh.”

Comment - I’ll bet the diocese is breathing a big sigh of financial relief! Now if a priest plays hanky-panky with a girl or boy, only the high school, and not the whole diocese, will be financially liable.

Naturally of course, the diocesan spin machine is not touting it this way. Diocesan propaganda point man Father Kris Stubna described the changes:

“This is a good development for our schools. The changes in structure are being made to strengthen the overall operation of our schools and make for a solid future for generations to come.”

Father Stubna is liar! These “changes in structure are being made” to protect finances of the diocesan office, not out of any concern for children and their education.

If the Pittsburgh Catholic was honest (which it is not), the article title should have read:

“Diocesan Finances to be Aided Through Incorporation.”

May God give Catholics the grace to see that Rome’s rock is not Christ, but money. Please pray daily for Catholic conversions.
