siryouarebeingmocked:celticpyroWhy is it only Catholics have to sell their priceless artifacts of worship? What about every other religion with gold statues and jewel-encrusted temples? Why is no one joking about making them give all that away?By the way, the Catholic Church is by far the largest charitable organization in the world, and many of those “golden cathedrals” you so badly want to have sold off double as homeless shelters and soup kitchens. We already give and give and give but every time the joke is “Hm, well that tabernacle looks expensive, why don’t you have it melted down and feed a bunch of starving African kids?”Just say you have no respect at all for Christianity or what’s considered sacred. You don’t give a shit about poor people, you just have a personal disdain for the Church. done-with-discourseChildren in Africa aren’t starving because the Catholic Church won’t feed them. They’re starving because we keep sending them money but their corrupt governments keep it for themselves while their people continue to fucking starve.I’m not even Catholic, but this has been common knowledge for years.Now, I’m no economics major, but I’m pretty sure all the money Catholics would make from selling all their gold and stuff wouldn’t make much of a dent in world hunger and might actually crash the gold and stuff market.But of course tumblr thinks “throw other people’s money at the problem!” is a good idea. -- source link
