Axeman Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Last night I was having a drink with a friend who works as an accountant for the beancounters KPMG. During the course of the conversation, he let me in on quite an interesting story that has been common knowledge in the higher echelons of the Roman Catholic church for some time now. Two years ago, he and his team were contracted to do some audit work for the Vatican; which at the time was trying to promote a more transparent image of accountability concerning church finances.About halfway through the audit, a rather suspect donor kept appearing. This donor was conspicuous in that it was a subsiduary of the arms manufacturer EADS. The firm that build, amongst other things, the Eurofighter Typhoon fighter jet.This was brought to the attention of some of the Vatican representatives assigned to assist the auditors. They said that they'd look into the matter, but it seemed that the message wasn't passed on to their superiors.Now, this does rather beg the question: is the Roman Catholic church, by extension, ignoring the fifth commandment that dictates, "Thou shalt not kill"?And surely, by accepting donations from an organisation that is responsible for the manufacture and supply of instruments of death, does that make them complicit in any bloodshed caused by the weapons that provide funds to the Catholic Church? So, naive ignorance or accessories to murder? Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/13586-vatican-hypocracy-or-just-double-standards/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

huncamunca Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 So lets looks at the factsA global death cult with multi Billion Euro assets, with a penchant for institutionalsed celibacy & the odd bit of peadophilia, led by Hitler youth trained president for life & answerable to no one exept God, with his own private tooled up army, supplemented by an operation staffed by hundreds of thousands of dogmatic black clad field lackeys who promise eternal damnation for any perceived slight, living in thier own private fiefdom, with a history of close symbiotic relationships with distasteful despots,propagating the denial of regarding basic Scientific facts and causing the death of thousands of people each year, who keep their coffers topped up by the rapacious theft of cash from some of the the poorest people on earth ...may take donation from iffy people.Why didnt anyone tell me about this ?its DISGUSTINGetc Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/13586-vatican-hypocracy-or-just-double-standards/#findComment-367537 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axeman Posted October 2, 2010 Author Share Posted October 2, 2010 Yes, I've popped my head round the section you're sarcastically alluding to. I also happen to agree. As it seems to move at a glacial pace.Blimey, Huncamunca. Take a breath.Yes, you're right. It does live-up to all the things you've described. It's a controlling cult that decieves, controls and brainwashes the naive and vulnerable.But its real agenda seems to be accomodated by a culture of misplaced faith and the authorities turning a blind eye because in the past it's served its purpose as a tool that controls society with the threat of eternal judgement at the hands of someone the masses have been fooled into believing exists.How sad.
