Catholicism in the U.S. is abused by bishops
How often does one see the major daily [New Jersey Star-Ledger] of an area gleefully announce the departure of an (arch)bishop?
"...Blessed are we to be rid of this man. During his 15-year tenure as New Jersey's highest-ranking Catholic, he protected pedophile priests and used church funds to expand an already large weekend house into an opulent retirement mansion...Myers will soon be just a bad memory...Myers is an old fashioned vestige of church hypocrisy who will not be missed...So let him disappear forever into his mansion with the elevator. In the end, he'll have to work out his fate with St. Peter."

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
