1. You should see that cemetery in Milwaukee

The diocese moved 24 MILLION out of a general fund (which would have paid off kids who were screwed and raped by its priests) into a special fund to keep up a cemetery. Except an audit shows that upkeep of the cemetery could be done reasonably for less than $100,000 a year - forever. That means to further protect the church against its victims, that cemetery will remain green and clean for another 240 years, not including interest.
