4. I'm just trying to keep this post alive, because the details are starting to appear in the media tod

today. I was hoping to consolidate what was known today so new-comers can put 2 and 2 together.

Also, if I state plainly at the start that this is not a bashing thread, more might read it.

When this all starts pouring out, there won't be much need to bash the church: I think this might be the cause of the greatest decline of church membership and sponsorship since the end of the holy roman empire.

The scariest thing is the way they'll use the courts to try to hide the truth. If they were as holy as they proclaim, they wouldn't hire expensive lawyers to run around and play legal games to prevent this release.

I doubt the cardinals even realize yet what they're in for. This friday could mark the start of a world-wide revolt of the devout.

But, if you're asking me- Bash away. It's a free country.
