This is the way they plan on recouping some off the money they have paid out to child abuse victims... and falling contributions..

There is uproar here...

They're making the catholic victims,victims family and those outraged by the priests

wrongdoing 'pay' a levy?!No wonder there's an uproar.

The waters of Babylon are drying up = less and less money coming in.

Then pay out more and more money for scandals and abuse = financial disaster.

Bright idea? Let's just tax our congregation in a recession/depression. Sounds like a great plan.

Yeah, cause that won't speed up the exodus.
