Diocese Reorganizes so Pervert Priests Won't Cost as Much in Future

The Tucson, Arizona diocese is reorganizing itself "as part of a $22.2 million settlement between the diocese and people who filed claims as victims of clergy sex abuse against minors." This was reported in the Dec 30 Catholic News Service article titled, "Tucson Diocese Reorganizes Parishes as Part of Bankruptcy Plan."

In trying to avoid paying settlements for the many sex crimes committed by Catholic priests, one legal angle the Catholic Church tried was to claim diocesan bishops had no control over individual parishes. As ex-Catholics know – this is laughable!! Test cases in Spokane, Washington, Portland, Oregon, as well as Tucson have shown federal bankruptcy courts are not buying this Catholic lie.

We thank God our federal judges saw through this attempted Catholic deception.

In response, to protect the assets of the entire diocese from being sued in the future:

"The Tucson diocese is reorganizing each of its 74 parishes into corporations which will be recognized as separate entities from the diocese under Arizona law."

"The plan calls for each parish to be run by a five-member board of directors composed of the pastor as board head, THE BISHOP (emphasis mine), the diocesan moderator of the curia, a lay treasurer and a lay secretary."

Comment – This also is laughable – and very transparent. Technically, "THE BISHOP" will be on the board of 74 different churches! (I wonder how many board meetings he'll make?) We can all rest assured the other members of each of the 74 church boards will be hand-picked minions, ready to do the bishop's bidding.

No matter what legal avenues Rome pursues, may God continue to expose the Catholic Church and its priesthood for what they are – antichrist!
