It has become a custom among bishops, to present the downfall of their mismanaged dioceses in very rosy colours.

Why I would have to work if someone gives me free money?
From the moment Catholic Church hierarchy took money from government the church is getting less and less relevant. This was clearly seen when our"leaders" wet their pants due to virus and made Christ non essential. Very, very sad.
