3. Perhaps it won't be - for now.

How many dioceses and archdioceses around the world filing for bankruptcy will it take to finally bankrupt the entire system? It is already morally bankrupt, so financial bankruptcy seems an end that is completely justified.

The process won't be immediate, of course. But, as the churches and cathedrals empty and the donations stop flowing, it will compound the financial damage. I believe that only a complete shutdown will end this kind of abuse of children. There appears to be no commitment to change on the part of the Vatican. Only a hollow set of apologies and promises from the Pope, who appears to think that demoting offending Cardinals to lower positions serves as adequate punishment.

I'm sorry, but what has happened and what is being exposed now and will be exposed in the future should spell the end for the Roman Catholic Church as a viable voice for the Christian religion.

Shut It All Down!
