Organized criminal behavior should be punished using racketeering laws. Are they above the law or not?

The Catholic Church should be shutdown under the conspiracy statutes as a criminal-pedophile organization under the existing RICO laws.

The catholic church believes itself to be unaccountable to anyone out of an arrogant belief that they are the real church and they are the supreme authority in questions of morals- a misleading belief relentlessly preached among it’s followrs. But the fact is the catholic church is no more holy or real than your other reformed Christian churches. The cath chruch has hijacked the message of the Gospel and made an absolute judge of itself over peoples. They blocked access to so many people wanting to receive God’s blessing without pledging loyalty and blind faith to their preachings first. That is the sad story behind the roman catholic church’s patriarchal and authoritarian rule .

They should pay taxes on their properties and businesses. They loan money and charge interest, collect rents, and have retail sales — and dodge all the taxes. Enough of this thievery.

Abstinence makes the church grow fondlers. Especially true when required of young men bitten by indoctrination as children, smitten by ideology in youth, devoted in teen to early adult years, choosing boys by their mid-twenties to thirties when the sexual pursuit outside of self-satisfaction is fully recognised and the veil of if self and social delusion has lifted from the priest. The original dedication to ideology, once felt with extreme intensity and duration, has become a prison. Theft of another’s innocence, making sure the other never falls prey to same ideological extremes of servitude, trust and martyrdom is the payback to the institution that bound the youthful priest, and binds all other followers of indoctrinating monotheism! A most heinous and grievous crime, striking back at the target, of an indoctrinating institution! A war over the children, and the priests are winning.

…I was raised Roman Catholic and have known many, many, fine priests. But in any other organization this layered pattern of conspiracy would result in a RICO investigation and prosecution. The Church puts out the fiction that each diocese is its own business… though if the head of one thumbed his nose at the Pope, he would somehow wind up fired…

…The core of the Church *never* got over the idea that civil law trumps religious law in civil matters. Sad… so many wonderful priest and parishoners…

Sounds like the Catholic church to me! God would never allow these things to occur in “his” house if he was truly dwelling there. But since he isn’t dwelling there, the Demons are, and they revel in sexuality in all it’s forms. (See the Flood & Sodom account recorded in Genesis for example) Jesus would have also turn over their money tables (purgatory coins for example) like he did in the temple during his day. Think about it, all of Christendom is about to fall for it’s deeds. It supports war which includes killing of people of their OWN denomination, making profit from so called religious holidays, etc. “Her” destruction is right around the corner and there is no one saving her, there will be no successful reformation. “She is devastated and naked”, meaning she has been exposed and now people can see her sins and her sins are great indeed!
