The Gutless Catholic Church

Hi folks,

Once again, the Catholic Church shows us just how much they really care about people:  San Francisco archdiocese ‘very likely’ to file for bankruptcy over child sex abuse claims - oregonlive.com

I understand Chapter 11 is 'reorganization', not 'total shutdown', but it'd be really great to see them have to liquidate most of their property to pay off the judgements.

You know, all that real estate that they don't pay taxes on.
Being sold and added to the tax rolls would be pretty cool.

With the proceeds from the sales going to the victims.

The price of quality pastoral care is going up and up, apparently.

Please note that the United Church of Canada and the Anglican Church of Canada have been hit with massive lawsuits over child-abuse that occurred at residential schools administered by those churches. Some of the lawsuits have forced Canadian churches to sell properties to pay off debts.
