Oh, Those Wacky Catholics! Again!!

I love the idiocy and hypocrisy of the Catholic Church. You know, how they say they want to protect children, but really they spend a great deal of time, and parishioner money, on protecting pedophiles. And they say they want to help the poor, but the High Priestess Pope dons glittering jeweled headdresses  and robes and Prada as she marches hither and yon, telling everyone else what to do.
Idiocy. Hypocrisy.
Now comes the story that an assistant bishop of the Roman Catholic archdiocese of Los Angeles has resigned because........wait for it.........it's rich......he has a secret family; and two teenage children.
Baby Daddy Gabino Zavala
Pope Benedict Arnold accepted the resignation of Gabino Zavala, an auxiliary bishop of just one of the Cathoioc diocese which have been plagued by sexual scandals. But Benny's announcement gave no reason for Zavala's resignation, saying only that the pope had accepted it under a Church law that says a bishop who is ill or otherwise unfit to carry out his duties should resign.
Ill. Or unfit. Or unmarried, with children.
However, Zavala's direct superior, Archbishop Jose Gomez wrote a letter to his flock explaining that Zavala has left the church because he was the father of two teenage children who live with their mother in another state.
Remember, the Catholic Church demands celibacy from its priests. It's funny, cuz they actually still say that!
Zavala's resignation is just another bump in the road for the diocese, which has already paid a $660 million settlement in 2007 for cases of sexual abuse going as far back at the 1940.
Six-hundred-sixty-million dollars. Think to yourself how many poor families and starving children could have benefited from the $660 million spent to compensate victims of child raping priests.
Idiocy. Hypocrisy. The Catholic Church.
