Money just ain't fair, and 'twon't ever be, I think. I try, instead, to focus on the small stuff, to think about ways I can give and, perhaps more importantly, ways I can teach it to my kids. Because the big picture is just SO big, sometimes, that I can't wrap my brain around it. Meep, indeed. Money just ain’t fair, and ‘twon’t ever be, I think.

Without insulting anyone I would like to note that in addition to a) doing the reletively ocassional good deed via their ministries, and b) hoarding a wealth vast enough to spark jealousy from Kubla kahn, c) the Catholic Church -as an institution on a par with individual states and governments throughout much of our more recent history- has murdered, or has caused to be murdered, more peoples than any other single enity. In the name of 'God'. I find no 'god' exists expect as such we create ourselves. For me that would be the 'Cosmic Jester', she who presses down on the world with a malicious irony... cor! Nice…

Bottom of the list ~ Set of cruets £16.00 Top of the List ~ Marble altar £25,000 The parish has a population of a couple of thousand,so thats going to be a couple of thousand sets of cruets bought then. Mind you, I didn't see a request for toasters for their new mansion. Madness We recently got a leaflet asking parishoners to “Buy a gift” for a new chapel under construction.

I remember you raging about that when I was a kid, ma... he should be called Cardinal Cushty! Grannymar, what a nice compliment :) 500 acres?!?! By gum. There are a few beautiful spots around Wicklow that are totally inaccessible being as they're private land, same story. Ironically, a lot of kids use them for knacker drinking. I think I'd like to be a Giraffe in the next life. Brian, there's a fine line... my point being that it's the individuals WITHIN the church that do great work, just apparently not the church itself. Mind you, all I ever hear about is the negative stuff. I'm willing to admit that my opinions are seeded from too much bad press! Da, I’d bin wondering about Bill Gates alright, fair play t’im.

They DO NOT take the vow of poverty. Why is it that we rave on about the monitary holdings of the church yet seem unable to speak of the good it does beyond a brief mention that maybe mission work is OK?

I've often wondered why Catholic churches have not one but two collections. One is for the poor, the other to suport the clergy. And you forgot to mention the amazing pieces of real estate owned by the church. We have a convent near us that sold over 500 acres for housing development, even DrummerBoy and ClareBear's school sold off about 16 acres for medium density housing, and the Church where Nicole Kidman was married is perched on a cliff at Vaucluse, one of Sydney's most selubrious seaside suburbs with the most amazing view of the harbour bettered only by the Giraffe enclosure at Taronga Zoo!
