thousands of tons of gold got mined since the beginning of mankind , where did it all go now ?

@NativePortlander1970 some of it found in long underground tunnels too. Or under the Vatican.

@cherokeepatti Yep, 1,700 years of "donations" will accumulate.

@NativePortlander1970 and also penance offerings for forgiveness. That’s a big money-maker right there.

@cherokeepatti That's why I put donations in quotations, and why everyone believes that religion is a social concept meant to subjugate the weak minded, to fleece them of all of their money. I mean think about it, one of them some recent years ago demanded more "donations" so they could buy a multimillion dollar private jet, because "Jesus wants me to have one". Oh fucking please.

@NativePortlander1970 The Catholic Church is good about laying on the guilt at an early age and laying it on thick. They have their members go to confessions and the priest will pry it out of them even thoughts that teenage girls may have about boys is considered a sin. They milk it for all it’s worth. Meanwhile so many of the priests are committing heinous crimes against children. I wonder if they pay any money for penance? Of course not.

@cherokeepatti Francis is sitting in the Vatican because as a Cardinal of Latin America, his job was to move abusive priests from diocese to diocese once they were discovered, changing their names in the process, he got the papacy for his efforts in the global cover up.
