Oct 25, 2013 7:19 PM CST Bishop of Bling suspended for $40 Million residence renovation


Including a $20,000 bathtub. This guy also flew first class to India to look at the slums.
Did you know that in Germany you are taxed 8-9% which goes to the church. That's right, German tax payers must support the church with their taxes. The churchs are tax exempt! What a racket.
Thank god we in the USA separate church & state. laugh

But as he had to fly to the pope he used ryan air, probably he had to use it.In one year there are nearly 10 billions euro paid.Protestant and catholic tax.
I secceded from the church many years ago.I am selfemployed.I dont have to pay church -tax on my income. BUT when i have a worker, lets say a muslim or a hindu then i have to pay tax for the wages i pay.Catholic and protestant.Unbelievable but true.Many ppl. said that they wanted to go to law, but the lawysers say :: No, we dont dare to do this, the church has 2000 years experience and the best laywers.So, why there is this caste of priests? No body needs them really.Again i say that the priests and the politicans are responsible that the world is in such a mess.They are the real sick psychos.

Telling lies again now ooby. Say it ain't so. laugh You enter your affiliation or none on tax forms. If you don't want to be part of the congregation you don't have to pay. IN fact the reason why there is a tax there is precisely to keep the church from not relying on Political pressure. Jews do the same in Germany. etc etc.
