Makes you wonder why people do charitable things for others when you get the online news and read headlines like this:

I am not having a shot at any particular religion,but if the boot fits!

I have always known that the Catholic Church was a business,and I know that it is financed via donations from a fair few criminals and proceeds from crime,surely the church knows where from and whom is giving these big money donations.Should they decline this money knowing it is the proceeds of crime,and,do they give this donated money back to the poor in the community knowing its "dirty"

I always used to laugh watching the yank gangster movies,TheGodfather comes to mind where the gangsters try to buy redemption?

Just wonder how deep the knowledge of the origin of this money goes,do the Vatican money men know its "dirty money" but accept it anyway,it seems to go against the grain really.

The Vatican Bank is now called "The Institute For The Works Of Religion"
