6. Well, the RCC is already morally bankrupt, so let's make it

financially bankrupt, as well.

I have been in the residences of a couple of RCC Bishops. They lived in luxury. I think that's probably the norm. I would direct their attention to some passages in the book of Matthew that speak of wealth and luxury, and the impediments they create.

The RCC lost its way centuries ago. In its quest for political power and wealth, it belies its supposed belief in the recorded words of the supposed Christ.

And now, we see that it has a long history of its priests doing great sexual harm to children. There is a part of Matthew that addresses that as well. Something about millstones around necks, as I recall.

In my opinion, it is time for every Catholic parishioner to walk away from the doors of RCC churches and cathedrals and seek Christian guidance elsewhere if they need it. Many have already done so.
