A letter to the C.E.O. of the Catholic Conglomerate:
Catholic Church Mega-Corporation
Vatican City
Rome
Attention: Mr. Jorge Mario Bergoglio
You
told us over the weekend about "the pain of men, women and even children who are exploited by many mafias,"
Sir, your own organisation is one of those mafias. Your Vatican rules a billion people with an iron fist and casts women as second-class. It has built up obscene church wealth by taking money from the poor. It pays the legal costs of the odious paedophiles who perfom depraved acts on defenceless children in the name of your god, whilst forcing victims to sign a contract not to go to the police.
Your Vatican encourages a conspiracy of non-compliance with law-enforcememt agencies; it attracts vulnerable customers with the false promise of an eternal life which it can neither verify nor deliver; and it continues to encourage the proliferation of AIDS among the poor in Africa. All this whilst preaching morality to those of us who do not like your mob rule.
Lies, mysogeny and false advertising; beyond the law stand-over tactics and bought silence; - in what way can you describe your organisation as better than any mafia?
