Your Tax Money - Rome Wants to Use It

G-7 Finance Ministers will be meeting June 10, so the US Conference of Catholic Bishops issued a May 24 'Action Alert' urging Catholics to contact US Treasury Secretary John Snow to:

"Urge him to reach a deal with his G-7 colleagues on new debt cancellation for the world's poorest countries."

The 'Alert' said:

"IFI (international financial institutions, i.e., banks) debt cancellation would free up major new resources for investments in health, education and poverty reduction in some of the world's poorest countries, we strongly support a new debt relief agreement that would provide 100 percent cancellation of debts owed."

This statement is Catholic DECEPTION at its best! Comments:

1. "Debt cancellation." Question - Who will pay for the "debt cancellation?" Answer – Taxpayers. Cleverly, the Catholic bishops NEVER say in the 'Alert' how the banks will be reimbursed. Bankers aren't stupid, they don't make these loans for nothing!

2. "Free up major new resources." In the Catholic mind – debts are cancelled – and then – NEW MONEY is thrown at these third world countries! All of course ultimately backed by taxpayers! Again, the bishops NEVER say WHERE the "new resources" will come from.

3. Also, only a fool – or a Catholic – would believe that after debt cancellation – the dictators and corrupt officials in these countries would all of a sudden 'see the errors of their ways,' and spend the "new resources for investments in health, education and poverty reduction..."

This is a "win-win" for the Catholic Church by: 1. Draining western taxpayers. 2. Looking 'compassionate' without spending a penny of their own money.

Instead, may Christ protect our nations from Rome, and show our government officials the duplicity and naked lust for power that is – the Roman Catholic Church.
