Want a Great Retirement Package?
May is "Priest Ordination Month" in the American Catholic Church, and diocesan newspapers are all touting their new priests. The May 21 issue of the Diocese of Cleveland, Ohio newspaper, the 'Catholic Universe Bulletin' was no exception. In an article titled, "Three New Priests Called 'Blessing' to the Church," Cleveland Bishop Anthony Pilla told the three that being a priest:
"Is not about status, power, and prestige."
(The article did not report if any snickers or muffled laughter was heard in the church!)
Therefore it is VERY appropriate that the Vatican on May 27 announced the appointment of former Boston Cardinal Bernard Law as archpriest of the Patriarchal Basilica of St Mary Major in Rome. This is largely a ceremonial post at this fifth century church.
Law gets:
An apartment in Rome.
Serves on nine important Vatican congregations and councils.
Is entitled to participate in the next conclave at which the next pope is elected.
And - Law's salary and benefits today are STILL paid by the Boston Archdiocese!
The Roman priesthood -- in what other occupation could you cover for many perverts, allow thousands of children to be sexually molested, avoid jail, obstruct justice, lose hundreds of millions of dollars of OTHER people's money in lawsuits -- and still be rewarded with a great retirement package?
Jesus Christ did NOT establish the Roman priesthood. It is a self-serving, man-made invention.
Yes - the Roman priesthood IS about, "STATUS, POWER, and PRESTIGE."
May Christ open the eyes of bible believing Christians to the wicked and base nature of the Roman Catholic priesthood.
