And the Church won't understand that. It is the position of the church that the quest for shared humanity means all of humanity conforming to them.

Why does a religion own so much property that isn’t dedicated to church services or charity? The RCC owns far too much property in the USA, considering it is a foreign nation. All the hospitals and schools and just property are money making schemes for them and opportunities to exert control over people’s lives, people who are not Catholics, who choose not to be a part of their religion. Now they are even interfering in the free expression of artists.

They plead poverty when they’re expected to actually do charity, or when they’re being held accountable for crimes against children and women. But they have plenty of cash to own large buildings in New York City, one of the most expensive cities for real estate in the world.

Who is surprised by the church choosing the heartless option.
