Wait, how much money does the Catholic Church have?
Between 1980 and 2015, The catholic church paid over $275 million of compensation to victims of child sexual abuse in Australia.
In the US, they spent over $300 million on costs related to clergy abuse. In one year.
To put that into perspective, imaging earning minimum wage in the US, full time hours. Now imaging working for 50 years, saving every single cent you make. You haven’t earnt enough to cover a single day of those costs.
All in all, http://www.bishop-accountability.org claim that the church has paid about $4 billion on child sexual abuse cases. This doesn’t include the money they spent moving paedophiles around the world so that they can continue to abuse kids.
But we may never know how much money the church really has, because they are actively hiding assets to minimise their value, in an attempt to limit the amount they have to pay to the victims of their crimes.
Hot damn. 4 billion total so far and its probably them trying hard paying as little as possible. So thats got to be like what, 1-5% of what they actually possess?
More than God…
Do you want that figure in tons of nazi gold or tons of stolen artifacts?
You and your org lost control of the rich class a long time ago, organized religion is just for the commoners these days. You have no power here, the stock market has taken them fully.
They don’t have to tell the whole world, just the very very small percentage of people doing a majority of the damage.
Noone is forcing anyone to eat meat or fly
Sure the 0,1% polluting 1000 times as much as average people is really shitty but just cutting their emissions down will not solve the problem
Making huge changes among the population is necessary, too.
Obviously you need to tackle the rich, too, in order to get the population on your side but for laws to happen you also need a decent part of the population already agreeing with that law and living by it.
Animal agriculture is currently using an amount of land that’s the equivalent of the entirety of North America.
Yeah but people need food, people don’t need hundreds of flights on a private jet each year. One problem is easier to solve than the other so we should start there.
Animal agriculture uses more food than it produces. You need to feed the animals and the meat they produce is considerably less food than what they consumed.
Too little too late. We’re all fucked.
He needs to excommunicate leaders that don’t pass sweeping legislation. He won’t but that would be the only way to force their hand.
The rich, on their private jets: “can’t hear you, too busy eating caviar”
I urge the pope to make profound changes to tackle the pedophilia crisis.
Having sais that, yeah, the world could have, should have, would have, but it’s too late already and the next few generations are deeply fucked
